Description:

This project seeks support from NRC-IRAP to facilitate the scale up of manufacturing of the Biofilm Surface Test Materials (BSTM™) Device to address a massive unmet need in the regulated medical device and antimicrobial therapeutic space. The BSTM™ Device is a simple ‘Petri Dish for Biofilms’ that allows for high-throughput screening of different surfaces. Currently, the method is under review as an internationally recognized ASTM test method. The device is currently at TRL 7 with the focus of this phase on local Alberta production and scale up to service the massive, growing anti-biofilm testing and product development market.
