Aptamer Group plc (LSE:APTA) has entered into a new agreement with Metir plc to develop Optimer® binders for the rapid identification of Cryptosporidium within Metir’s Pathogen Detector platform. The collaboration is designed to improve real-time water quality monitoring and represents a step forward in pathogen detection capabilities.
The partnership highlights the versatility of Aptamer’s technology and its potential to move into wider markets. Proof-of-concept results are expected in the near term, which could pave the way for pilot trials by UK water utilities.
Aptamer Group’s outlook remains constrained by ongoing financial pressures and weak technical signals. Nevertheless, the company’s strategic partnerships and pipeline of corporate developments provide some optimism for longer-term growth. Heavy debt levels and continued unprofitability, however, remain key risks.
