Acrongenomics's partner Molecular Vision has been successful in winning the £250,000 Royal Society Brian Mercer Award for Innovation 2007
This is a prestigious award from the UK's Royal Society to develop low-cost, high throughput, reel to reel, manufacturing techniques for plastic electronics.
Acrongenomics and Molecular Vision's medical diagnostic products use organic semiconductors to generate and detect light.
This is the highly sophisticated technology used in the chemiluminescence and fluorescence demonstrators presented to a selective technical audience recently.
This award has the potential of significantly driving down the cost of these devices so enabling medical point-of-care technology to be brought to the global market.
"Awards of this magnitude give additional recognition to our scientific work, establishing the great potential of our technology to change the way we live, and make a great contribution to the global medical community" said Plato Tzouvalis, president of Acrongenomics
