SFC Fluidics of Fayetteville – a portfolio company of Virtual Incubation Co. – received a $150,000 Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer award from the National Science Foundation. The money will be used for development of a hand-held instrument and microchip used to detect proteins in saliva that could indicate the presence of oral cancer, among other potential applications.
The technology has been licensed exclusively to SFC Fluidics from the University of Arkansas, the University of Pennsylvania and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
