Notice Title

Design Services for a Scattered Light Integrating Collector (SLIC)

Notice Description

The Gillespie Research Group have been developing a Scattered Light Integrating Collector (SLIC) for 2 years and progressed through six separate prototypes. The founding technology is subject to patent applications (WO2016/128747) and is under development as a rapid clinical laboratory testing device for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) to address the global threat provided by antibacterial resistance. In November 2016 the R&D team won a Longitude Discovery Award (https://longitudeprize.org/blog-post/winners-discovery-awards) one of only 12 to be awarded internationally. Recently the team was awarded additional funding for the further development and prototyping of an enhanced, closer to market, SLIC device.

Recently the team was awarded additional funding for the further development and prototyping of an enhanced, closer to market, SLIC device. Designed by the research team with external assistance, and built by an external contractor, our most recent SLIC prototype (v6) is our first multi-well benchtop machine. We are now ready to progress to the next iteration of the multi-well design; learning from experience gained from previous devices, we need an ambitious design house to help design and to build our next prototypes (SLIC v7).
