Description | Through the project, we improved two aspects related to microbioreactor technology - (i) increased throughput, so to increase productivity, (ii) introduced automation, to make the equipment more user friendly. Case studies using different cell platforms were published to show the efficacy. |
Exploitation Route | Industry in Taiwan and China are exploring to commercialise the technology. |
Sectors | Manufacturing including Industrial Biotechology Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology |
Description | A new drug testing platform based on advanced cell based assays was established and ready to be used in industry. The project also promoted collaboration between UK and Taiwan. |
