- 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 is a proposed new technology for the high purity separation of enantiomers from a racemic mixture. The process is quite different from methods currently used and has some practical advantages such as robustness and the relative ease of scaling up production. The method has been experimentally shown to be highly effective for related types of separations. PNNL now proposes to further develop the method for enantiomeric separations. We believe that when developed, the methodology will be capable of being scaled to gram and kilogram per day capacities, and will cost approximately $100 to $1,000 per gram of racemic material separated. Preliminary calculations support the validity of the method envisioned. PNNL seeks qualified commercial partners to financially support this development effort in partial exchange for licensing rights. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. 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.
