Spectromicropolarimeter for biomedical applications

The main proposals for discussion: adjustment of the development to the requirements of the customer, testing, development of new methods and techniques, joint refinement of the development to the industrial level.

Sphere of implementation and implementation of the project: biology, medicine, optics.

Scope of the project (startup): development of new methods for diagnosing, treating and preventing the most common human diseases.

Description: The developed device makes it possible to carry out polarization-spectral measurements in systems for processing images of biological tissues both in the in vitro mode and visualization of pathologies in vivo. The software of the micropolarimeter makes it possible to calculate the statistical characteristics of images of biosamples and carry out their complex digital analysis. Diagnostic results are visualized in digital and cartographic form on the monitor screen using original software. The device spectromicropolarimeter is simple and customary for maintenance in clinical conditions due to its base (microscope), it has high accuracy in determining spectral and polarization characteristics, the ability to operate in the results not only with images of biological tissues, but also with spectral polarization maps.

Markets targeted by the project: Enterprises, institutions, organizations on the territory of Ukraine and abroad.

Description of the problem the project is solving:

  • oncological diseases of epithelial tissues in the early preclinical stages of diagnosis (the state of the initial oncological process);
  • collagen diseases;
  • amyloid diseases;
  • bone and degenerative-dystrophic human diseases.

Technical result: Model sample.

Competitive advantages and novelty of the project (startup): non-invasiveness, rapidity, increased accuracy of results compared to other methods, compactness and ease of implementation of the method, comparative cheapness of the device.

At what stage is the project (startup): Breadboard sample

Approximate cost for the implementation of the project (startup): UAH 1.2 million
