Skyphos Technologies
Skyphos brings 3d printing to the new arena of direct POC diagnostics
Skyphos is a 3D printing service for rapid-prototyping and mass-fabrication for micro-devices used in several sciences – typically referred to as Lab-on-a-Chip or Point of Care (POC) diagnostics, microfluidics and biochips. For the last 30 years, all products were mold-based, from prototype through production. Each design revision requires a new mold, and each mold-cycle intrinsically has 90% wait time, (this cannot be removed). In a typical 5 year development cycle, 2+ years is spent just waiting for the molds to arrive, so that a lab can then begin the fabrication and experiment process.This…more

Qentoros Inc
Harnessing the power of platelets to treat orthopedic injuries
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disease characterized by chronic inflammation and cartilage destruction leading to pain, stiffness, and functional disability. In the United States, about 58 million or 22.7% people have OA.
Horses are also afflicted by OA. As in humans, the equine industry estimates that OA costs horse owners over $1 billion and is the leading cause of financial loss in racehorses. Like humans, horses suffer from naturally occurring OA and their use as athletes requires OA treatment for return of joint function.
The treatment for OA is pain management with associ…more

FluxTeq
Manufacturer of low-cost heat flux sensor and thermal measurement solutions
We manufacture low-cost heat flux sensors and thermal measurement systems for use in a variety of applications. Our systems can be used to evaluate the performance of building insulation or monitor energy loss through materials.
Another application is for fitness in that the sensors can directly measure calorie burn at a point on an athlete’s body.
