Flintbox Technologies is a snapshot of some of the most recent out-licensing and in-licensing opportunities available on our site.
Out-Licensing Opportunities
Optical Pressure Sensor For Biomedical Applications
University of Victoria – August 7, 2008
Researchers at the University of Victoria have developed an optical in-fibre Bragg grating (FBG) pressure sensor with pressure range and resolution approaching that of today’s most sensitive biomedical pressure sensors as well as a major diameter of only 200 µm.

In-Licensing Opportunities
Dilutable Anti Microbial Household Cleaning Product
The High Commission of Canada to the United Kingdom
A global household products group with offices in the UK is seeking a naturally derived aqueous antimicrobial system, booster or active ingredient(s) for household applications. This should be effective (>99.9% bacteria kill) in both concentrated form and when significantly diluted in water for larger area use.

Radiochromic Hydrogels
Modus Medical Devices Inc.
We require assistance with formulation and manufacturing of clear hydrogels for a product to be used in radiation therapy. The product will consist of a 1 – 2 litre dosimeter made of an optically clear hydrogel doped with a radiochromic dye (changes colour when irradiated). The dosimeter will be imaged with our optical CT scanner to measure absorbed dose in 3 dimensions.
