Technology Overview:Academics at the University of Birmingham, by an unprecedented combination of methods, have successfully developed lithographically defined, optimised hierarchical electrohydrodynamic (EHD)SERSsubstrates which are considerably more stable than nanoparticlebased systems, offering more degrees of freedom in the design and tuning of structural parameters, to enable reproducible, multiplex, *** (>108), ***, each of the EHDpatterned individual structural units yielded a considerable SERSenhancement enabling each structure to function as an isolated sensor, indispensable for multiplex *** technology uses a highly reproducible and tuneable manufacturing process for the generation of a novel substrate material for SERS characterised by micro and nanoscale features with:• Signal Enhancement >108• High degrees of design freedom;• High accuracy (size, shape, structure, distribution);• High reproducibility of measurement;• Cost ***:This is a platform *** Application:• Detection of biomarkers in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) for discriminating mild and severe *** Applications:• ***• Pathogen detection• Animal Health (diagnostics)• Food and water safety (detection of pathogens, toxins etc.)• Homeland security (chemical and biological agents etc.)• Forensics• Pharmaceutical Drug DevelopmentIP Status:Patent application on manufacturing process and portable system being filed *** COLLABORATION OR LICENSING OPPORTUNITYBiological Therapeutics – Preclinical
