About us

OVODAN BIOTECH A/S is a Danish biotech company founded in 2011. As a contract research organization, we develop customized polyclonal chicken antibodies for use in immunological assays and diagnostics.

We have established and perfected a one-step technology for antibody purification from egg yolk. The technology allows us to benefit from this generous source without the use of harsh chemicals.

Today, our daily capacity is 20 gram total IgY, with a purity and concentration suitable for manufacturing IVD test kits in bulk—our technology is linearly scalable.

BORN TO COLLABORATE

Valuable partnerships extend our activities and services. Besides the chicken polyclonal antibody platform, we are collaborating with the University of Southern Denmark, Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to develop a more efficient method for epitope mapping.

As a part of the Danish biotech cluster, we hold memberships of Dansk Biotek and BioPeople.

If your project benefits from a dialogue or a collaboration with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are better together.
