History

In 1997 the KRYPTOR® immuno-chemistry analyser was launched in the market place. This was the result of a 10 year research project based on the work of the Chemistry Nobel Prize winner Jean-Marie Lehn.

The launch of the KRYPTOR® analyser was the outcome of the development of a new fluorescence detection technology by the company Cis Bio International. This new and unique technology is known as TRACE® technology.

In the field of immunochemistry analysis, TRACE® technology represents the latest development in fluorescence detection: it allows the real-time and continuous measurement of antigen-antibody reaction in homogeneous phase.

At the beginning of the year 2000 Cis Bio International was purchased and the decision of the new owners was to stop manufacture and distribution of the KRYPTOR® product line.

The current Cezanne management started Cezanne as a management buy out, with the goal to proceed with the development and the production of the instrument and associated reagents.

Initially Cezanne sets up in Bagnols-sur-Cèze in 2000 and established a distribution and financial partnership with the company B.R.A.H.M.S AG, located near Berlin in Germany.

Cezanne gained ISO 9001:2000 certification in June 2002.

On September 9th, 2002 floods devastated the south of France, and the Cezanne premises with all the manufacturing equipment was completely destroyed.

As early as December 2002, the city of Nîmes, in partnership with Cezanne, launched the construction of a new building of 2800 m², on the Georges Besse scientific parc. Cezanne entered the new building on July 28th, 2003.

On September 11th, 2003, the building was officially opened during a ceremony gathering the local authorities of the city, regional and county concils as well as the Nobel Prize winner Jean-Marie Lehn, B.R.A.H.M.S partners and numerous customers.
