Our patented novel Ensilication technology uses silica to create an individually tailored protective nanoshell around vaccines, antibodies and enzymes to prevent degradation, which can lead to spoilage.
Once applied, the material can be stored and transported without the need for cold chain infrastructure, improving global access to medicines and reducing wastage and emissions across the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Ensilication preserves the integrity of a wide variety of biomolecules and proteins, not only protecting against environmental degradation, but also making possible the development of more convenient administration such as subcutaneous and oral delivery for both humans and animals.
We are actively looking for partners to work with us in developing ensilicated products, free from cold chain dependence. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’re interested in finding out more about us, and how our technology may benefit your products.

Mortgage technology CRM and platform Smartr365 unites mortgage advisers and state-of the-art technology to empower better financial decisions and planning for clients.
Smartr365 gives clients access to all of their financial data – mortgages / insurance / pensions / investments – all in one place. The data is Cloud based, with bank grade security. Data can be updated in real-time, notifying all relevant parties simultaneously.
Clients can be paired-up with their existing financial adviser, and have access to the same financial data. Using ‘smart’ data, clients can see the value of their home, mortgage balance and home equity at the touch of a button, along with the relevant mortgage products for their specific circumstances. They will get the advice they need on their finances 24/7.
The platforms Experian / HomeTrack / Digidentity / E-Conveyancer integrations are powerful features, as is the auto-email and remortgage feature with Mailchimp. Plus streamlined Lender integrations with some of the biggest banks, including Barclays, Halifax, Leeds, TSB, Accord, and Aldermore.
Smartr365 has been built on Microsofts Azure PaaS framework. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with all aspects of the 365 solution, including auto-syncing of actions to Outlook, client documentation storage and retrieval via SharePoint.
If clients or advisers want to proceed with new financial products / offerings, this is delivered at the touch of a button, with no downtime nor expensive, aborted transactions.
Smartr365 is the technology behind Capricorn Financial Consultancy, one of the largest brokers in the UK. It has been instrumental in propelling the consultancy as one of the industry’s major players, with more than £1billion of lending in 2016 and £1.4bn forecast for 2017 and will shortly be rolled out to other major brokerages / networks in the UK.
We’re here to make mortgages simple.
