IN BRIEF: Microsaic signs exclusivity agreement for DeepVerge assets

Microsaic Systems PLC - Surrey-based developer of real-time mass spectrometers - Says it has entered an exclusivity agreement with DeepVerge PLC, a Dublin-based environmental and life sciences firm. The agreement will grant Microsaic a period of exclusivity to purchase certain assets from DeepVerge's Modern Water business. The assets mostly comprise equipment for the lab-based manufacturing of bio-reagents used in related water testing equipment.

The exclusivity period runs until January 16, 2024, the signature of a legally binding sale of the assets, or the cancellation of the proposal by Microsaic.
