720137Disposable Microfluidic Device for Ultra High Performance Genomic and Proteomic AnalysesClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKGenetic Microdevices Ltd has developed a disruptive technology that analyses proteins and DNA with ultra-high performance. The device is based on a disposable analysis chip (CycloChipTM) . Protein and DNA analysis are central to many bio-analytical procedures used widely in drug development, research and diagnostics. Our device encompasses unique intellectual property which makes it far more potent than any existing eletrophoresis based analytical systems. The technology will accelerate the development of new drugs, it will offer tools to test the compatibility of drugs with patient's genetic group, enable early diagnosis of chronic disease and improve the efficiency and quality of NHS analytical services. The increased capability of the CycloChip in a potentially portable reader device, will enable GPs to perform powerfull blood and tissue tests at their clinic or at point of care. Over the last 4 years we have developed a proof-of-concept instrument that has demonstrated most of the advanced analytical specifications. Further development is needed to improve the quality and consistency of the system. We propose to further develop the technology over 24 months into a prototype that can be converted directly into a certified product.
