About the technology
On-demand production of protein aggregates: We produce oligomers and fibrils within seconds in a nanofluidic environment. This has potential for high throughput screening of drug candidates, automated in-vitro assays, and binding assays with single molecule sensitivity.
Areas of application
We envisage producing the nanofluidic Tau-on- Chip devices for use in drug development, clinical trials, research, and protein production.
Value proposition
- Single molecule sensitivity.
- For use in drug development, clinical trials, research, and protein production.
- Patent pending.
Opportunities for Collaboration
We are looking for industry partners for collaboration and licensing. We are open to working together on the development of our Tau-on-Chip technology to accommodate your needs.
