Fraikor, Technology Transfer Administrator, 303/966-2270 EG&G Rocky Flats, a contractor to the U.S. Department of Energy, is seeking commercial parties to further develop, test, and license a unique Antibody Screening Assay. Developed to detect the presence of antibodies to beryllium, the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay shows potential to detect antibodies to several other metals and materials.
