PolyAnalytik Inc. is a Canadian contract research organization, based in London, Ontario, founded in 200, the company provides analytical services focused on polymers, biopolymers, and small molecules. It conducts studies and offers testing services relevant to sectors including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, food and agriculture, and environmental sciences.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

PolyAnalytik Inc. was founded in 2007 by Amer Ebied. The company’s early work included gel permeation chromatography , and later incorporated additional techniques for polymer analysis.[4]

The laboratory is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025:2015 by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA),[5] which indicates adherence to recognized standards for quality management in laboratory operations.[6]

In 2017, PolyAnalytik Inc. entered into a partnership with Tosoh Bioscience LLC to provide analytical support and services related to specific instrumentation, including the EcoSEC GPC Systems and TSKgel HPLC columns, in Canada and the United States. The scope of the agreement was expanded in 2022 to include regions in the Middle East and North Africa.[7] Later, the company established an international presence with offices outside Canada.[8][9]

In 2022, PolyAnalytik Inc. established a joint venture with Concorde Corodex Group, a long-standing environmental and water treatment company based in the United Arab Emirates, to form Corodex Life Sciences. The venture marked PolyAnalytik’s expansion into the Middle East and the establishment of a dedicated contract research organization (CRO) in the region. Corodex Life Sciences provides advanced analytical and molecular testing services, supporting sectors such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, environmental sciences, and water treatment. The initiative aims to strengthen regional research infrastructure by offering expertise in polymer characterization, the detection of emerging contaminants, and applied molecular research. The CRO has also contributed to ecological research, including biological approaches to lake management using native species.[10][11] The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing scientific research and innovation, while supporting sustainable development goals in the Middle East.[10][11]

Inventors and Registered Patents

[edit]

1- Methods for extracting and analyzing compounds from implanted and excised medical devices -US20220291096A1,[12][13][14] This patent describes a method for extracting and analyzing polymeric biomaterials from medical devices. The technique enables the study of both in vitro and in vivo degradation profiles and allows for the detection and analysis of trace polymer compounds. It can also be used in the extraction of pharmaceutical agents.[15][16]

2- Synthetic method for the preparation of rheological modifying polymers and the use thereof, US20210317249A1. The Inventors are Joseph A. Paquette, Olabode O. Oyeneye, Eric D. Landry, and Amer Ebied. This patent describes a method for synthesizing hydrophobically associating terpolymers using ultraviolet (UV) light-initiated RAFT (Reversible Addition–Fragmentation Chain Transfer) polymerization in aqueous solution. The method involves three types of monomers: one with a water-soluble monoethylenically unsaturated group, one with an ionic water-soluble monoethylenically unsaturated group, and one capable of forming hydrophobic associations in water. A light-activated iniferter initiates the polymerization using wavelengths between 250 and 400 nanometers. The resulting terpolymers can be used as rheological modifiers in aqueous systems.[17][18][19][20]

Innovation Award

[edit]

In 2019, PolyAnalytik Inc. received the Innovation Award from the London Chamber of Commerce’s Business Achievement Awards. The recognition highlighted the company’s effective use of technology to support its growth. The award positioned PolyAnalytik among leading businesses in London’s technology and research sectors.[21]
