Funding from IBioIC enabled CuanTec to work with Abertay University to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of the company’s proprietary chitosan based prototype formulations

Proof of concept was achieved in this Feasibility project to improve the strength and water repellent properties of Cellucomp’s paper-based packaging materials.

IBiolC Feasibility funding enabled CuanTec to access the analytical capabilities of the University of the Highlands and Islands to accurately determine the presence of allergens in CuanTec’s purified chitosan.

In this Feasibility project, CuanTec Limited and James Hutton Institute teamed up to analyse the value of side streams from crustacea shells.

Marine Biopolymers (MBL) is a Scottish SME whose focus is on extracting high value components from brown seaweeds for use in a range of applications such as food and pharmaceuticals, but also in different industrial application areas, where the use of natural polymers is growing fast.

ŌGI Bio Ltd wanted to explore the feasibility of utilising the University of Edinburgh’s state of the art in-line dilution technology to extend the valid range of OD measurements for their microbioreactors.
