Aegros History
Our History
In 1985 John Manusu joined the company and helped take Gradipore public in May 1986. Tangential flow Electrophoresis as applied to plasma protein purification was spearheaded by Dr Hari Nair when he joined Gradipore in 1998 and developed the various applications of the Gradiflow including viral and prion removal.

By early 2002 there were some 50 patent families covering a number of aspects of the Gradiflow technology. In 2004 the 3 founders (Perry, Hari, John) rebuilt Gradipore and acquired Serologics, a US plasma collection business specialising in hyperimmune plasmas through FDA approved centres. They used this acquisition to refine the plasma fractionation process, particularly for hyperimmune products. By 2007 the company, then called Life Therapeutics, was the largest non-fractionator plasma collection business in the world, collecting normal, hyperimmune and bioterrorism plasmas. They agreed to sell the business to the Italian fractionator Kedrion. Having announced this agreement the founders retired, and the new Board sold the collection centers.
In the meantime, John and Hari setup another company called NuSep which developed an IVF application for the Gradiflow technology. A successful clinical study was completed in 2008. In 2010, NuSep was offered a small cGMP facility in Singapore and the company chose to reactivate the plasma separation technology. Hari further refined the fractionation process particularly around the disposable cartridge which enabled the processing of plasma collected from emerging economies.
In 2013 this business was spun out into a company called PrIME Biologics and was funded by private equity. On 1st July 2016 PrIME Biologics obtained cGMP registration from the Singapore Health Sciences Authority for the fractionation of Albumin from human plasma. This was the critical regulatory approval necessary to enable this process to be used to manufacture a therapeutic plasma product. This was also the first time that a regulatory authority had granted GMP status to a company not using conventional Cohn/chromatography for plasma fractionation.
In May 2017 Hari and John established Aegros. Over the next two years Hari developed the HaemaFrac® process to fractionate hyperimmunes from plasma.
