LentiKats a.s.

• Our Vision
• To implement the ecological Lentikats
  Biotechnology on a global level.
• Our Mission
• To optimise production processes and create
  revolutionary and ecological production
  technologies that reduce the investment and
  operational costs.

4
LentiKats a.s.

• The LentiKats corporation was established in
  2006 with the aim of commercializing Lentikats
  Biotechnology on a global level.
• The LentiKats corporation follows up on a nine
  year old tradition of research and development of
  Lentikats Biotechnology.
• Our production know-how for commercial use of our
  Biocatalyst and for its industrial applications
  is patented internationally.

5
Our interests

• production, implementation and supply of
  Lentikats Biocatalyst,
• research and development of new applications,
• consultations upon delivery of new production
  processes implementing Lentikats Biocatalyst.

We are fully prepared to cooperate with you in a
joint effort to increase the efficiency of your
production processes, optimize your old systems
or create entirely new production processes that
will save investment and operational costs while
implementing a more environmentally friendly
technology.

What is a Lentikats Biocatalyst?

• Unique shape of the matrix and the original
  principle of immobilisation enable the
  encapsulation of free enzymes or microorganisms
  (bacteria, yeasts, fungi) in a stable porous PVA
  (polyvinylalcohol) carrier. The carrier
  advantages are
• Excellent physical-mechanical characteristics
  that provide for
• long-term mechanical stability
• Low biodegradability
• Zero toxicity
• Lentikats Biocatalyst enables easy separation of
  enzymes and microorganisms from the surrounding
  media and therefore it can be reused multiple
  times.

Lentikats Biocatalyst

• Advantages of using PVA as a matrix for
  encapsulation
• inexpensive, non-toxic
• polymerization under optimal conditions, cell
  conservation
• enables creation of hydrogels with excellent
  mechanical properties
• no side effects in processes
• large capacity for cell building
• easily supervised processes
• stable processes
• easy separation from ambient media

11
How does Lentikats Biocatalyst function?

• Due to its maximum surface and at the same time
  minimum volume of the Lentikats Biocatalyst, the
  diffusion limitations associated with the
  transport of the substrate into the lens and the
  product out of the lens are significantly reduced.
