IKONISYS PARTNERS WITH EVOSCIENCES LEASING TO SUPPORT THE COMMERCIAL EXPANSION IN EUROPE AND THE USA OF THE IKONISCOPE20

Paris, May 12th, 2022 – 6:30pm CEST –Ikonisys SA (Code ISIN: FR00140048X2 / Mnémonique: ALIKO) a company specialized in the early and accurate detection of cancerous diseases with a unique fully automated solution for medical analysis laboratories and Evosciences Leasing, announced today, that they have entered into a collaboration agreement to support the international market introduction and further expansion of Ikonisys’ novel and state-of-the-art platform technology, the Ikoniscope20 system, in the European and US markets.

As a reminder, the ikoniscope20 is the digital fluorescence microscope system of Ikonisys. It is a fully integrated technology platform comprising hardware, software and consumables, providing fully automated slide handling, cell detection and analysis, data capture, data storage and (remote) review. Ikoniscope20 runs several FISH applications (technique that identifies and localizes specific genes in cell suspensions or tissues) routinely used by US and EU oncology labs, but can also identify and analyze very promising rare and hard to be detected cells like CTC (Circulating Tumor Cells) for early cancer detection or treatment monitoring.

This partnership with Evosciences will support the ramp-up of Ikonisys’ two-fold worldwide commercialization strategy, on one side expanding the United States customer base, starting from converting current customers to active Ikoniscope20 users, and, on the other, focusing on direct commercialization in Europe (Germany, France and Italy at first). Ikonisys targets respectively a total available market of 7,326 laboratories and 3,824 laboratories.

“Based on the successful market development of its former Ikoniscope Gen1 technology, Ikonisys has launched its novel miniaturized fully-automated fluorescence microscopy system, the Ikoniscope20 system, that incorporates latest AI algorithms, as well as latest advances in optical, mechanical and IT technologies” said Jurgen Schipper, Chief Commercial Officer of Ikonisys. “In order to support our international commercialization plan of the Ikoniscope20 technology, Ikonisys has partnered with Evosciences Leasing in order to offer tailor-made sales financing options to all of its customers” continued Jurgen Schipper.

“We are happy to support Ikonisys and its international customers by providing flexible financing solutions for the installation of the Ikoniscope20 technology. Evosciences supports the procurement of this new and innovative technology with a financing program tailored to customers’ needs”, stated Manuela Habeker, VP Evosciences SAS and Managing Director of Evosciences Leasing GmbH.
