Uniform Cell Seeder
Lack of even distribution of cells throughout the culture vessel is recognised as a challenge for those growing any types of cells in culture, and in particular stem cells. Researchers at the University of Glasgow have developed a simple laboratory consumable device, the Uniform Cell Seeder (UCS), which will offer those working in tissue culture a simple tool to readily achieve uniform distribution of cells on various formats of tissue culture plates.
StemXpander
A known problem for researchers wishing to grow stem cells is the natural prosperity for these cells to spontaneously differentiate into other cell types. University of Glasgow researchers have developed a technology which overcomes this requirement giving a simple, low cost and easy to use solution.
Pulsed Photo Stimulated Luminescence System
Food irradiation is the use of high energy ionising radiation to extend shelf life by reducing the bacterial loads associated with natural foods. The University of Glasgow has developed methods and equipment for screening foodstuffs for irradiation.
Wireless Optical Communications
University researchers have developed a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) Optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) technology that provides high bandwidth electronic gain through the negative differential resistance (NDR) of the resonant tunneling diode.
Soluble Polymer Catalysts
The University of Glasgow has developed Soluble Polymer Catalysts, using organocatalysts for chiral chemical production.
Paediatric Spinal Injection Simulator
The University of Glasgow has created a Spinal Injection Simulator which is essential to develop the skills of medical practitioners.
