Objective
Our goal is to develop and evaluate the commercialization potential of a fast reliable label-free detection method of cells on chip for real time on site detection of mastitis or cell detection and selection in a clinical setting. The advantages and applications of the proposed fast detection platform are numerous. It enables reliable analysis within minutes, without labelling the cells and the small size of the system supports on site analysis. Besides the development of the innovative (droplet-based) microfluidic chip, both the technical optimization of the detection method developed in the ERC project as well as thorough market and IP study using preliminary information will be undertaken. In case of a positive outcome the Proof of Concept project will lead to a business plan for a new start-up company.
