First-of-its-Kind Solution Enables Overseas Entities to Authenticate and Verify Chinese IDs PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zetrix, a layer-1 public blockchain platform, today launched a first-of-its-kind application that enables official identities of Chinese nationals ("Chinese Digital IDs") to be authenticated and verified digitally overseas, paving the way for a seamless, efficient, and secure verification process for verifiers and identity holders. Zetrix Launches Chinese Digital ID Identity Verification Service on ZCert Through the ZCert service, Zetrix now simplifies and facilitates electronic Know Your Customer ("eKYC") processes for entities outside of China wishing to verify the authenticity of information contained in the Digital IDs presented to them by Chinese nationals. This pioneering service has been made possible through Zetrix's unique integration to China's national public blockchain Xinghuo BIF. Chinese nationals can choose to publish their Digital IDs on Xinghuo BIF and upon doing so, the data can then be accessed by verifying entities outside of China through the ZCert service on Zetrix, which operates the Xinghuo International Supernode, known as Astron. "We are truly excited about the introduction of this cross-border Digital ID service as it enables a new wave of services powered by smart contracts. KYC processes can now be a simplified and automated process. Furthermore, user data is retained by users at all times and only critical information is shared in an encrypted manner," said TS Wong, co-founder of Zetrix. "Payments on Web 3 platforms can now be executed fully in compliance with existing rules. Our Chinese Digital ID application combined with Malaysia's National ID and WorldID and future sovereign IDs, makes ZCert the most comprehensive global Digital ID solution," he added. "Creating cross-border trust is of great importance, especially the verification of digital identity, credentials and documents. We would like to create a trusted data channel, together with MYEG, to facilitate the international cooperation between China and Malaysia and the rest of the world in the digital age," said Xiaoyu You, Head of International Cooperation Department of the Institute of Industrial Internet & IoT, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology ("CAICT"), which is responsible for the development, execution and implementation of Xinghuo BIF. Leveraging on the unparalleled advantages of blockchain technology, the new ZCert service provides a more advanced, convenient, reliable and secure method of verifying identity information in real-time, thus bringing a more pleasant overall experience to identity holders and verifying entities alike when compared with conventional credential verification methods. The immutability of blockchain means verifiers will be able to confirm that National IDs issued and accessed through the Xinghuo-Zetrix collaboration are authentic, genuine and have not been altered. This may not be the case for conventional ID cards, whether in their physical or digital image forms, as these may be subject to tampering, fraud, or forgery using image editing tools, and verifiers have no immediate, trustworthy method to assess their authenticity. Furthermore, the new National ID verification service on ZCert takes full advantage of the Self-Sovereign Identity framework within Web3 technology, enabling identity holders to selectively disclose relevant information such as name or home address without having to share other non-relevant personal data, hence ensuring improved privacy protection. In contrast, the use of conventional ID cards in their static physical or digital image forms does not provide similar safeguards as all information are static and already openly displayed. In addition, a significant advantage of opting for the use of verifiable digital IDs is that since they are dynamic in nature, user data can be updated by authorised issuers to reflect the most current personal information of the holder, ensuring precision and accuracy. The launch of the Chinese Digital IDs verification facility is the latest innovation on ZCert and comes just months after it introduced a service for Chinese driving licences to be digitised and accessed overseas for verification purposes. It is expected that the ZCert cross-border credentials verification service will be progressively expanded in the coming months to include other documents of critical importance to individuals and businesses. More information on ZCert is available at https://www.zetrix.com/zcert/ About ZetrixZetrix is a layer-1 public blockchain that facilitates smart contracts and delivers privacy, security and scalability. Zetrix's cryptographic infrastructure can be introduced to multiple industries to connect governments, businesses and their citizens to a global blockchain-based economy. Developed by MY E.G. Services Bhd, the cross-border and cross-chain integration with China enables Zetrix to serve as a blockchain gateway that facilitates global trade by deploying critical building blocks for Web3 services such as Blockchain-based Identifiers (BID) and Verifiable Credentials (VC).
Best-in-class, highly selective separations technology for the radiopharmaceuticals industry Exhibitor at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Congress in Hamburg, Germany 20-23 October 2024 at Booth S14 (Exhibition Hall 3) Over 36 years of experience with first generation flowsheets for highly selective separation of radium (Ra), lead (Pb), thorium (Th), actinium (Ac), bismuth (Bi), copper (Cu) and others Highly selective purification of Ra-228 incorporated in Pb-212 flowsheet used by OranoMed to produce AlphaMedix for treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) Second generation flowsheets to drive increased availability and scaleability of critical radioisotope supply, including Pb-212, Ac-225, Ra-226, Th-227, Bi-213 and others Highly selective recovery of radium to nanogram per liter concentrations from brines, mining streams and nuclear wastes Waste minimization Industrial manufacturing capability AMERICAN FORK, Utah, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC Advanced Technologies Inc. (IBC) announces the launch of its subsidiary, RadSep Inc. (RadSep), dedicated to best-in-class, highly selective separations technology for the radiopharmaceuticals industry. RadSep's proprietary Molecular Recognition Technology™ (MRT™) introduces a comprehensive approach to separating upstream radioisotopes used in the production of feedstocks, as well as downstream radioisotopes used directly in the manufacture of drug products for radioligand therapies (RLTs). When embedded in a production process, including in a Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) environment, MRT™ enables highly selective, single-step separation of critical radioisotopes, benefiting the supply chain and alleviating shortages caused by sub-optimal separation processes, such as ion exchange resins. MRT™ can thus be used in the industrial setting in order to conserve and recycle critical radioisotopes such as Ra-226. MRT™ ligands are tailored to target specific ions in terms of matching their shapes and co-ordination chemistry. These molecules are covalently attached to support materials such as organic polymers or silicates to create reusable MRT™ resins that bind metals with exceptional selectivity in packed column mode, including radioisotopes of radium, lead, thorium, actinium, bismuth, copper and others. The bound target radioisotope is removed via elution with very high rates of purity and recovery, up to 99.99% pure and 99.9+% yield, using chemically simple solutions. Independent expert studies have shown MRT™ resins to have: Lowest cost of use and least waste generation (compared against four other resin-based protocols for Ra-226 separation) 1 High selectivity, more rapid procedures, decreased costs and reduced waste 2 Strong retention of radium over the entire acid range of 0.01–10 M HCl and HNO3, with distribution coefficients (Kd) of >250 L/kg 3 Radium recovery approaching 100% 4 Recent global shortages of the therapeutic radioisotope Ac-225, as well as difficulties with upscaling supply of other alpha emitters such as Pb-212, have caused uncertainty around the availability and sustainability of numerous radioisotopes. Supply outages and increasingly critical shortages have begun to impact the pace of clinical development, posing an increased risk to continuity of supply for dozens of ongoing and planned oncology clinical trials. In parallel, increased regulatory scrutiny of the impurity profile of starting materials and radioisotopes used in therapeutic drug products (Ac-225 and Pb-212) demands new technology be made available to manufacturers, delivering a step-change in the quality, purity and durability of radioisotope production. IBC's innovative MRT™ flowsheets, launched in 2023, have been designed specifically to equip producers of Ac-225 and Pb-212 to streamline and improve their production processes and enhance the recycling recovery rates of valuable target radioisotopes, especially Ra-226 and Th-228. Dr. Robert G. G. Holmes, former Chief Scientist at Canadian Nuclear Labs and RadSep Advisory Board member, commented, "Molecular Recognition Technology™ is ideally suited to separation of high value medical radioisotopes and their precursors using high selectivity and recovery, pure recovered radioisotopes, reusability and high radiation resistance. These factors play into simple, one-step separative processes with low waste generation and maximum return of the high value products. These features present an economic application. MRT™ is a natural choice for medical radioisotope generation." John Carney, RadSep Advisory Board member, commented, "High quality materials such as RadSep's best-in-class MRT™ resins and chelators for radiopharmaceuticals, which do not impact the purity of downstream cGMP drug product manufacturing, are essential in order to quicken the pace of innovations and regulatory approvals of novel radiopharmaceuticals. Moreover, RadSep's green chemistry will reduce the environmental impact of radioisotope manufacturing, as the industry scales up in the next decade, to become a major modality for continuous treatment of cancer patients around the world." Steven R. Izatt, President and CEO of IBC, commented, "RadSep builds on IBC's foundation of over three decades of highly selective separations expertise. With the capability to produce MRT™ resins at industrial scale, RadSep is uniquely positioned to supply the growing radiopharmaceutical industry with highly efficient separation flowsheets needed for commercial radioisotope production."
