A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The design was made in the Solidworks environment, based on the disclaimers provided by the customer. The overall layout has been designed to ensure the dependent movement of the two syringes, the one that withdraw blood and the one that mix blood...
SENECA is a tool to integrate with Environmental Management Systems able to support organizations, particularly in a more efficient management of energy consumption of buildings (both industrial and residential). The service is achieved through a web...
Transparent ceramic materials are fundamental as sources of laser radiation, especially for high efficiencies and emission in the infrared wavelenghts (typically in the region of 1010 to 1080 nm). The transparent ceramic material that has reached the...
The EDIT Value tool supports companies, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), step-by-step and thanks to specific forms and checklists, in raising their awareness about the quantity and quality of the resources they use, the real costs...
The dispenser system BIOMASS DISP mainly consists of a completely isolated fiberglass tank, a submersible pump, pipes connecting to the water supply to the plant and biogas and a bioactive catalyst Biocat + . The system is fed with water from the...
ENEA, Faenza Research Laboratories, offers bioinert and biocompatible ceramic materials ( zirconia (ZrO2) e alumina (Al2O3) based composites), suitable to be applied in dental and orthopaedic implant sector and as surgical ceramic blades. ENEA has...
NIR spectroscopy is a rapid and cheap technique for the analysis of food samples, which do not have to be "prepared", but can be analyzed as they are. In this context, the CHIMSLAB research group of BIOGEST-SITEIA has already successfully implemented...
The hyperspectral images acquired in the near infrared (NIR) range combine the advantages of spectroscopy and imaging, enabling to obtain a sort of "chemical photography" of the sample in which the sample aspects hardly visible or not visible to the...
The common digital color photographs or the RGB images acquired by a desktop scanner can be processed in order to extract "information" on the characteristics of the sample. Such characteristics may concern the chemical composition of the sample, if...
Biopharmanet-tec has developed an innovative system for tissue repair and the local release of drugs stimulating regeneration, based on physically modified chitosan. Biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds are prepared to be applied locally, to act...
Holoclar® is a product of tissue engineering for advanced therapies consisting of an ex vivo reconstructed autologous human corneal epithelium containing stem cells, indicated for the reconstruction of the corneal surface in patients with limbal stem...
Biopharmanet-TEC developed an innovative drug delivery system for the local delivery of anticancer drugs, i.e. a biodegradable polymer thin film. Biocompatible, biodegradable polysaccharide-based film were developed for direct application at the...
The technology for the pulmonary administration of antibiotic drugs in the inhaled powder form is an alternative to administration by nebulization. Therespirable microparticles with high content of aminoglycoside antibiotic were prepared for spray...
Some agro-food waste products maintain several compounds even after their processing for dietary uses. By using advanced technologies, it is possible to recover specific molecules that can be employed, once extracted and purified, as secondary raw...
The method developed allows for the detection of allergenic ingredients in food, through an indirect DNA-based analysis. In particular, we refer to the ingredients listed in Annex III of the EU Directive 1169/2011. The method is based on the...
Processes for the production of ceramic-based articles with controlled porosity in terms of volume, morphology, size, interconnection, 3D distribution. ISTEC manufactures ceramic or hybrid architectures with functional porosity (multidimensional from...
Micronozzle is a device that allow the fabrication of flexible tube made of polymeric material obtained by extrusion. The tubes are made by extrusion of a polymer melt forced to pass through a suitable nozzle size equal to the section of pipe that is...
Automatic monitors analyzing atmospheric particulate allow to verify air quality in indoor and outdoor environments, to assess the exposure of the population to pollutants in different living environments, to identify the cause-effect relationships...
To contribute to identify the most effective choices towards a sustainable waste management, the MatER Study Center provides technical and scientific consultancy based on a thorough survey of the technologies and policies adopted for recovering...
The technical and economic assessment of plants producing electrical and/or thermal energy from renewable sources (biomass, wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric) is essential to design the plant itself and monitor its performance. The system's...
