DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Techshot Inc has successfully completed SBIR Phase I and Phase II research demonstrating that magnetically labeled porcine islets of Langerhans can be isolated from contaminating exocrine tissue by flow sorting using a quadrupole magnetic separator andquot Quadrasepandquot designed for that purpose Magnetically sorted islets are superior in morphology and ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Development of radiological nuclear medical countermeasures to treat Acute Radiation Syndrome ARS is a high priority research area for NIAID Bone marrow is one of the most sensitive tissues to radiation damage and impaired hematopoiesis is one of the first clinical signs of excessive radiation exposure often resulting i death Granulocyte colony stimulating ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant In this Lab to Marketplace proposal we aim to develop the MBF SpineStudio software incorporating the innovative laboratory based NeuronStudio software created at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine Our SpineStudio software will enable automated detection reconstruction and morphological classification of the structural analysis of dendritic spines By creating this ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant)The major goals of this revised, SBIR Phase II application for the combined R25/R44 mechanism to complete development of a multi-media, cancer risk behavior modification intervention and to conduct a randomized controlled trial with low income patients and their primary care physicians to assess its impact. The prototype system of tools created in the Phase I is ...

DESCRIPTION: (provided by the applicant) Surveys conducted by municipal wastewater treatment plants across the country have concluded that 10 percent to over 70 percent of the mercury reaching the plants comes from dental offices. These findings, combined with increasingly stringent regulations on mercury discharges, have placed pressure on the dental profession to reduce their discharges of mercu ...

The overall objective of this multiphase SBIR project is to develop and commercialize an economical and effective urethral catheter that resists biofilm growth and encrustation. Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that form on wetted surfaces when water and nutrients are available. Once formed, cells are continuously released from and recruited to the biofilm, providing a steady stream of p ...

Thousands of children and adults in the U.S. suffer from upper-limb deficiencies. Current state-of-the-art prehensors intended to increase upper-limb function do not serve this population well. This Phase II SBIR project addresses that situation by focusing upon optimizing a body-powered voluntary-closing (VC) prehensor offering variable mechanical advantage (VMA) and passive holding-assist. Exten ...
