Shrink is a FIGA™ business - bringing together leaders from the worlds
of finance, industry, government and academia. This presentation is an example
of Shrink bringing together industry leaders and academia in one setting.
Attendees will be given an overview of the Company's operations and strategic
priorities, and review opportunities for its innovative technologies and intellectual
property within the medical diagnostics and biotechnology sectors. Specific
products that will be discussed include:
- StemDisc™ - embryoid body (EB) development platform for stem cell
researchers; ability to culture up to 96,000 symmetrical stem cell development.
- CellAlign™ - tissue engineering applications for cardiac and nerve
tissue; biodegradable non-periodic "band-aid" structure for tissue
growth.
- ShrinkChip RPS™ - extremely low cost, highly flexible prototyping
solution for the manufacture of microfluidic biochips; patent-pending desktop
solution allows rapid design and fabrication of custom biochips.
- MetalFluor™ - diagnostic platform designed to inexpensively increase
the sensitivity and specificity of luminescent based assays; potential to
allow low-cost light detectors to enable more portable instrumentation for
POC testing.
- OptiSol™ Solar Concentrator - creating, trapping, and transporting
electrons; when 'wrinkled,' the surface becomes a 'light
trap' and tunes all radiation to optimal silicon absorbing wavelengths.
