- Description
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a sponsored research agreement or CRADA program. The Technology: This technology involves a new device and method for ultrasonically treating a liquid or substances within the liquid and flowing continuously or intermittently through a cylinder in which the ultrasonic energy is applied. A unique aspect of the technology is the placement of the ultrasonic transducers around the cylinder. The technology can be used to treat materials as diverse as biological samples or the industrial processing of petrochemicals. As an example, spores have been lysed at 99 percent efficiency using ultrasound at low MHz frequencies without the typical cavitation and its associated problems and without the need for chemical or mechanical pretreatment. The diameter of the cylinder can be of almost any size from, for example, 1 millimeter to a size capable of handling industrial flows and volumes. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than 30 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice.
