Food Lab Waste Processor

Agreement Value:
$110,716.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2018 - Mar 22, 2019
Description:
Food labs generate a significant amount of biohazardous waste daily that needs to be sterilized prior to disposal. There are currently three main methods of sterilization and disposal: autoclaving, chemical sterilization and 3rd party handling. All three methods leave much to be desired and many major players in the market have expressed concern around this and the desire for a new solution. Autoclaving and chemical sterilization is inefficient and hazardous to employees. 3rd party handling is extremely expensive and simply not an option for major labs due to their high throughput. We are seeking to make a sterilizer that addresses all these issues by automatically & efficiently sterilizing and dewatering samples safely at minimal costs.
