Haploys S.A.S was a start-up company created in August 2005, in the Biopôle Clermont-Limagne, close to Clermont-Ferrand, France, by private entrepreneurs and public grants. Its aim was to provide reusable DNA “sample chips“ for cost effective SNP genotyping and gene expression profiling of large sets of samples. The company also filed a patent for ICLEDA, coining Isothermal Constrained Loop Extension DNA Amplification, with an aim to develop Biocomputers. In the incapacity of raising funds for its projects during the 2008 financial crisis, the company closed operations by mid-2009.
