Inventures participated for 500 k€ and will transfer shares to MyMicroInvest Finance to let the the crowd investing in this great opportunity.

Problem


The project stems from an absence of an integrated quality control (QC) solution for radiopharmaceutical products (RP) laboratories. This fact has been observed by many practitioners in the field and confirmed by one of

Idea



QC-Cubicle is a solution to laboratories conducting quality controls on Radiopharma (RP) production, RP products will be used for diagnosis (PET or SPECT-scans) or therapeutic treatments. The solution is completely modular and integrated, easy to manage and applicable to different RP’s. Moreover, it will integrate the three pillars; hardware, software and services (such as maintenance and training). The hardware will be simplified and easier to use, i.e. instead of having seven computers to perform the quality control, Elysia is offering one server with few buttons to facilitate the quality control process.

Distribution strategy


The distribution strategy will be performed through three channels:
- Sales through manufacturers (e.g. for large production centres or cyclotrons). The latter, having a contact with end-customers, will become Elysia’s customers and they will integrate the solution into their own product offerings (e.g. IBA, Siemens, GE Healthcare, Advanced Cyclotron Systems, etc.)
- Direct sales to FDG producers such as CisBio, Cyclopharma, PETNET or AAA
- Direct sales to decentralised laboratories and nuclear medicine departments (they generally purchase products from several vendors and if applicable, integrate it in their laboratories)
The installation, maintenance and associated services will be conducted by Elysia. IT support relating to the application will be subcontracted to an external service provider, to ensure a 24h/24 support in different countries.
The company will work with agents for emerging countries, prioritising Russia, Latin America and the Middle East.

Intellectual Property


The product cannot be patented as it is just an integration of existing modules and equipment already on the market. The software will be protected by user rights and licensing. In June 2015, Elysia registered their new trademark called ‘QC-Cubicle’.In addition, it is planned to integrate automatic validation mechanisms in the software, i.e. it would indicate if the system is no longer in compliance with local regulations if not maintained and/or monitored by qualified personnel with calibrated and validated equipment.

Major contracts


In June 2015, Elysia and IBA signed a distribution agreement whereas Elysia agrees to appoint IBA as exclusive distributor for the distribution of 14 products to the Cyclotron Customers. In addition, Elysia agrees to appoint IBA as non-exclusive distributor for the distribution of its other products.In July, two orders have been confirmed (and invoiced) for Canada and Mexico for a total of 500k Eur. In addition, there are opportunities within 12 months for 2 IBA contracts in Argentina (400k Eur) and 2 IBA contracts for Vietnam (250k Eur).
