A call for proposals is being launched in the framework of the Global Enterprise R&D Collaboration Agreement between the Israel Innovation Authority and BD. BD is a large medical device company with a global presence serving healthcare needs around the world, in both high- and low- resource settings.

BD is making high speed cell sorters and cell analyzers for use in both research and healthcare settings. Key to these technologies is the ability to move cells in suspension quickly through the detection area and the ability to generate and detect light from these cells. Scattered and emitted light is analyzed to determine the presence of endogenous fluorophores or to detect specific surface proteins that have been chemically labeled. These technologies have been broadly adopted and have found uses in areas ranging from oceanography to immunology to the treatment of Type II diabetes. BD is seeking technologies that allow for inexpensive implementation of flow cytometry analysis for introduction into resource poor settings. BD isfocusing on three areas for cost reduction: flow-induced entrainment of suspended particles, excitation of endogenous or introduced fluorophores and detection of fluorescent and scattered light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Flow<\/strong>
    The flow subsystem\u2019s primary role is to hydrodynamically focus, orient and position particles of interest such that they can be individually characterized. Current embodiments use hydrodynamically focused systems with a clear carrier fluid. We are seeking novel flow system concepts which can more cost effectively or efficiently accomplish similar outcomes. The ideal solution should:\n
