Advanced Biomed Inc.

General Information
Business:

We are committed to the application research of integrating semiconductor technology and biotechnology. Through the enrichment, capture, and identification of circulating tumor cells and related tumor marker cells in the field of liquid biopsy, we aim to provide cancer patients with rapid and affordable assay products and services. These services include early screening and detection, diagnosis and staging, treatment selection, and patient outcome interventions for cancer. (Incorporated in Nevada)

We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada. We operate through Advanced Biomed Inc. (Taiwan) (“Advanced Biomed Taiwan”) and Advanced Biomed HK Limited (“Advanced Biomed HK”). Advanced Biomed Taiwan is responsible for the main operation and the design and development of the company’s primary technologies and products. Since our establishment in 2014, we have been focusing on the integration of multiple interdisciplinary technologies and established our own microfluidic technology platform. Utilizing the physical and molecular biological characteristics of tumor cells, we have developed various advanced and original research through the joint application of semiconductor technology and biotechnology. This includes complex precision structures, dielectric detection, functional microfluidic biochips, microfluidic integrated semiconductor sensors, related application modules, and key components of medical testing equipment. We have also developed a series of medical testing equipment and related products by integrating various functions of microfluidic modules, automation software, and hardware. Our technologies and products can be used for early screening and detection, diagnosis and staging, and treatment of cancer through the detection of circulating tumor cells and related tumor markers in blood samples, capture of single circulating tumor cells, and single-cell sorting and determination. These products provide assistance in treatment selection and patient prognosis intervention once the required licenses and approvals have been obtained. Advanced Biotech HK is our first localized operation company, mainly responsible for market operation and management in China, localized production, product registration, and future local market sales of our products in accordance with relevant local regulations in China. In the future, we will also establish operation centers in countries and regions in North America and Europe.

Our devices, A+Pre, AC-1000, A+CellScan, and A+SCDrop, and three corresponding microfluidic biochips, A+Pre Chip and AC-1000 CTC Enrichment Chip and A+CellScan Chip, are designed to provide rapid and affordable assay products and services to cancer patients. Among them, A+Pre is mainly used to reduce the viscosity of blood samples, and AC-1000 is used to complete the separation and enrichment of circulating tumor cells (“CTCs”) and tumor-related targeted cells in blood samples. The A+CellScan is mainly used for fluorescent labeling and automatic scanning judgment of targeted cells while A+SCDrop preserves the original viability of single cells.

Additionally, we have finished the research and development stage for four matching immunostaining kits, A+CTCE, A+CTCM, A+EMT and A+CM, and submitted registration applications in China. The immunostaining kit use antibodies combined with fluorescent groups of different colors to bind to specific proteins on the cell surface or inside the cells. The presence and intensity of fluorescent signals can be observed through a separate fluorescent imaging system, and the expression of the target protein and the cell type can be judged and determined accordingly. Different cell types can be distinguished using multiplexed combined staining with different antibodies. The A+CTCE kit is mainly used to identify epithelial circulating tumor cells, the A+CTCM kit is used to identify mesenchymal circulating tumor cells, the A+EMT kit is mainly used to identify epithelial-to-mesenchymal circulating tumor cells, and the A+CM kit is used to identify tumor-associated macrophages (cancer-associated macrophage-like cells).

We also developed a product for early screening of lung cancer, the A+LCGuard Lung Cancer Early Screening Kit (“A+LCGuard”), which is used to assist in the determination of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. From August 2020 to September 2022, we finalized the research, design, and development of A+LCGuard. A+LCGuard is a Class III medical device and is required to conduct clinical trials before completing the registration process. We plan to start A+LCGuard’s clinical trials in June 2023, which are expected to be completed in the second half of 2024, and the registration declaration will be made afterwards.

We are looking for suitable locations in the states of California and Washington for our planned expansion to the North America market. We aim to complete site selection and personnel recruitment in the United States by the end of 2023 and start product registration, testing and production in 2024. Our US subsidiary will be responsible for the production and registration of our equipment and related products in the US. Production, testing, and clinical trials in our US market will be conducted in accordance with US regulations, and clinical data from trials conducted in China will not be used to establish product standards. In addition, we also plan to break into the European market by establishing a United Kingdom subsidiary, which is expected to start its operation in 2024, and conduct localized management and operations in accordance with European regulations. In 2025, we will start the localized registration of our IVD products in Europe. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not conducted any clinical trials for our products.

*Note: Net loss and revenue figutres are in U.S. dollars for the 12 months that ended Sept. 30, 2023. The holding company is the Nevada-incorporated parent of a startup in Taiwan that has not generated any revenue yet from product sales, according to the prospectus. 

(Note: Advanced Biomed Inc. filed an S-1/A dated Nov. 20, 2023, in which it updated its financial statements for the period that ended Sept. 30, 2023.
