News
OxymaPureTM, CAS No. 3849-21-6, the brand of Luxembourg Bio Technologies has been registered by our Hungarian CMO, Első Vegyi Industria, for REACH at ECHA as part of the regulation of the European Union. This regulation was adopted to protect human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals.
Other products such as DIC CAS No. 693-13-0 and EDC.HCl CAS No. 25952-53-8 are in process of registration for REACH at ECHA.
Gyros Protein Technologies AB, a pioneer in automated nanoliter-scale immunoassays and a leading provider of peptide synthesizers and reagents, announced today it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Luxembourg Bio Technologies for three of its proprietary coupling agents, PyOxim® and K-Oxyma®, and HDMC on a non-exclusive basis. Gyros Protein Technologies will sell these reagents as part of its PurePep™ brand. As part of the agreement, Gyros Protein Technologies has exclusive distribution for the North American market for orders below 35 kg per product.
Yoav Luxembourg, CEO of Luxembourg Bio Technologies, said: “We are pleased to have Gyros Protein Technologies as our partner, and our distribution agreement represents an important step to enable more researchers to have access to the highest quality coupling agents designed to provide maximum yield with minimal racemization.”
Jasmine Gruia-Gray, VP Marketing, Gyros Protein Technologies, commented: “Gyros Protein Technologies takes pride in providing high quality peptide synthesis reagents and platforms. At the core of Gyros Protein Technologies’ PurePep product brand is purity, trust and ingenuity in peptide synthesis, supporting the Company’s pure reliability solution strategy – synthesizers, software and reagents, which are in turn underpinned by our decades-long track record of providing customers with outstanding service and support. We are pleased to partner with Luxembourg Bio Technologies, given their strong market position as a provider of high quality and innovative peptide synthesis reagents.”

Milestones
Luxembourg Bio Technologies Ltd., a family-owned and managed company, was founded in 2008 by our President and CEO, Mr. Yoav Luxembourg.
Luxembourg Bio Technologies (LBT) was a spinoff of Luxembourg Industries Ltd, which was established in 1962 by Mr. Abraham Luxembourg (1927-2012) – father and mentor of Mr. Yoav Luxembourg.
This spinoff became a necessity as the biotechnology activity had grown to such an extent that it could not remain one of the departments of Luxembourg Industries. It was essential to separate the chemical industry and the biotech industry. Inevitably, in 2008, Luxembourg Bio Technologies was formed.
Our company’s guiding philosophy has always been that by combining scientific innovation with environmental awareness. We have to provide optimal solutions for any peptide synthesis, amide and ester bond formation. As such, our goal is to bring the most current developments in coupling reagents, racemization suppressors, and protecting groups to market.
We hope that our work will make the world of peptide chemistry one that is more efficient, safe, and eco-friendly.
At Luxembourg Bio Technologies, we apply our extensive knowledge to each customer’s unique needs. We are committed to producing the highest quality molecules while constantly searching for the most efficient, environmental friendly and innovative new materials to meet the industry’s needs.
Our sustainable methods of production create a safer environment, cleaner materials, while either leaving a smaller ecological footprint, if any at all.
All synthetic and analytical methods employed in our facilities are held to the highest international standards. We develop and manufacture our materials using contract manufacturing organizations located mainely in Europe and REACH-ECHA regulations. A sample of each batch we produce is saved for seven years to allow continuous testing and analysis of all our products.
More About Us
Test Case
Peptide-bond formation is a key process in the synthesis of peptide oligomers. Among the many coupling and protecting agents techniques reported, carbodiimides combine strong acylation potency and smooth reaction conditions and are commonly used in the presence of additives. Recently, ethyl 2-cyano-2-(hydroxyimino)acetate (OxymaPure) has emerged as a highly reactive alternative to the classic and explosion-prone benzotriazolic additives, namely 1-hydroxybenzotriazole(HOBt) and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt). We recently reported a new oxime additive, 5–(hydroxyimino)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine- 2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione (Oxyma-B). This new additive showed satisfactory solubility in various solvents (DMF, ACN, and THF). It was also more effective controlling optical purity during the synthesis of Z-Phg-Pro-NH2, Z-Phe-Val-Pro-NH2, H-Gly-Ser-Phe-NH2, H-Gly-Cys-Phe-NH2, H-Gly-Cys(Acm)-Phe-NH2 and H-Gly-His-Phe-NH2 when compared to related Oxyma- and benzotriazole-based reagents. Oxyma-B also proved to be advantageous compared to the related HONM, because the latter cannot be used with carbodiimides. Furthermore, Oxyma-B showed satisfactory performance in assembling demanding sequences such as the Aib-enkephalinpentapeptide (H-Tyr-Aib-Aib-Phe-Leu-NH2).
