Microreactor Array Instrument/Platform
High throughput parallel assays are needed to effectively identify and study biomolecules and their activity. Typically it takes a large number of repeated assays to get statistically significant data for studying biomolecules. However, fewer assays would be needed to get statistically meaningful results if the data were of higher quality. Because of...

Antifungal Denture Materials
Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is a common, recurrent disease in denture wearers and can lead to other oral health problems, systemic infections, compromised quality of life, and even death. Currently, there are no effective treatment strategies to control CADS, and the reinfection rate is high, particularly in the elderly and those who...
