Advanced Instruments and Cantimer will collaborate to develop laboratory instruments for osmolality measurement, incorporating Cantimer's proprietary sensing technology.
This follows Advanced Instruments' USD1m equity investment in Cantimer.
Cantimer has recently been developing a hand-held device that quantitatively assesses human dehydration from saliva.
The device will monitor groups at risk of dehydration, including firefighters, military personnel, athletes, infants and the elderly.
It will provide critical early intelligence and thereby enable quick and effective intervention at the point of need.
