- Description
- IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY SEEKS INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS TO COMMERCIALIZE METHOD FOR CHROMIUM ANALYSIS. Announcement: Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), operated by Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI) under contract with the Department of Energy (DOE) is soliciting a written indication of interest from industrial partners, capable of developing, manufacturing and selling kits, reagents or devices for the method of analysis of heavy metals, in particular chromium, which was developed jointly by scientists at Washington State University (WSU) and INEEL, who are interested in entering into a license or research and development agreement for the purpose of developing and commercializing a Method for Metal Analysis and Speciation and Biosensor technology. License terms will include an up-front licensing payment, minimum annual royalties and a running royalty based on a percentage of sales. Research and development agreements will be under a standard CRADA arrangement with an option for licensing. A description of the technology follows: This Invention is a colorimetric method for determination of a metal, e.g., Cr(VI), in pure or mixed metal samples. A simple modification also allows determination of the valence state of chromium, e.g., Cr(III) as well as Cr(VI). Preliminary results show the method to be sensitive to about 0.5 ?M (26 ?g/L) for Cr(VI) and to about 2?M (104 ?g/L) for Cr(III). The technology could be adapted to rapid analysis kits, provide colorimetric analysis of column eluents and be adapted for simultaneous electronic measurement of multiple samples. More details will be available to qualified companies under a nondisclosure agreement. The successful company will be expected to seek approval of the method(s) by EPA. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing WSU/BBWI's Method for Metal Analysis and Speciation and Biosensor should provide a written statement of interest which includes the following: 1) company name and address; 2) the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address for a point of contact; 3) a brief description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing this technology; and 4) a brief description of how the company might commercialize this technology. The statement of interest should be made by US mail or e-mail and should be received within 30 days of publication of this opportunity at the following address: John R. Snyder, Ph.D., Advisory Account Executive, Technology Transfer and Commercialization, BBWI, P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805. E-mail is snydjr@inel.gov.
