 | Seeking Hair analysis tools & research for assessment of systemic health |
|
We’re supporting an established developer and manufacturer of consumer health and personal care products exploring how hair analysis solutions could be used to assess systemic health (from consumer wellness to medical conditions), measuring everything from hormones and metabolites to proteins and inorganic elements. Solutions with the potential for use at home are of particular interest. We’re keen to hear from organisations working on solutions to measure relevant biomarkers, precursors and chemical elements from the hair shaft (not the hair follicle) linked to disease states, particularly those at proof-of-concept (or later) relating to : - portable or miniaturised analytical platforms for home use - lab-on-a-chip, immunoassay or laboratory based services with the potential for consumer use (in person or by a service) |
 | Bio-based Concrete Cure Accelerant |
|
Airable Research Lab has synthesized a soy-based cure accelerant for concrete. Cure accelerants reduce the time that it takes for poured concrete to set, which is particularly useful in situations when a quick set is necessary (such as in the winter and in niche areas of the construction industry). Today, the chemical most commonly used for acceleration is calcium chloride, which is efficient and inexpensive, but chloride anions are corrosive to rebar. Alternatives such as nitrite-/nitrate-based compounds are toxic. In addition, these materials have somewhat fragile supply chains. The combined challenges have motivated industry to consider alternative feedstocks. Airable’s bio-based, renewable compound provides good performance without the corrosion challenges, environmental impacts, or supply chain issues. |
 | New method to improve treatment of atrial fibrillation |
|
Researchers from the CNIC and HCSC have developed a system to guide ablation procedures in a patient-specific way in complex cases of persistent atrial fibrillation, identifying these key regions to be treated with great precision and specificity. Furthermore, it does not require additional equipment or consumables, but only software that could be implemented within any conventional electroanatomical browser, so it would not make current pulmonary vein isolation procedures more expensive, with the advantage of being able to perform patient-specific ablation in complex cases. |
 | Electrochemical biosensor for detection and quantification of alkylphenols |
|
Fast, efficient and accurate method for the quantification of alkylphenols (APs). These sensors are based on a network of single-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with a highly specific anti-AP antibody, which is at the core of the AP quantification reaction. This quantification is determined as a function of the changes in the electrical current, which varied according not only to the presence of absence of these com-pounds, but also in proportion to their concentration. |
 | New filter for removing tar, nicotine and toxic compounds from tobacco smoke |
|
The group of investigation of Processing and pyrolysis of polymers of the University of Alicante has developed a new combined filter that eliminates the tar, the nicotine and other toxic gases present in tobacco smoke in a very efficient way more efficiently than current filters available in the market. The invention is characterized because it combines three membranes of different characteristics arranged in a very specific way. The primary membrane (M1), located at the end closest to the tobacco column, is formed by a perforated disk of impermeable material. It also has an outer membrane (M3) of cellulose acetate fiber located at the end in contact with the mouth of the smoker. It can also incorporate a cylindrical intermediate membrane (M2) between M1 and M3 formed by an adsorbent material. This innovative combined filter has a low manufacturing cost, allows to dispense tastes and flavors, and can be applied in both commercial cigarettes and filters for rolling tobacco. Wanted companies interested in acquiring this technology for commercial exploitation. |
| | Soy-Based Epoxy Alternatives to BPA and Similar (Hazardous) Industrial Feedstocks |
|
Airable is developing a series of bio-based epoxy alternatives to hazardous industrial feedstocks, such as bisphenol-A (BPA), whose pervasiveness raises health concerns. Airable’s innovative bio-based chemicals are derived from soybean oil and use polyketonate functionality to grant reactivity similar to traditional aliphatic epoxies. Our environmentally friendly products may be formulated into adhesives, coatings, and composites for industrial and consumer applications. |
