More techniques: NovAliX and Graffinity combine MS and SPR

We’ve written previously about Graffinity, which uses surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to find fragments, and NovAliX, which initially focused on mass spectrometry. The two companies have been collaborating since last year, and this has apparently been a fruitful partnership: this month NovAlix acquired a majority ownership stake in Graffinity (click here for press release). Earlier this year NovAlix also purchased an NMR-focused company, and they have already added crystallography expertise. Finding fragments effectively requires using a range of orthogonal technologies, and this latest move gives NovAlix a full suite of biophysical techniques.
