Grant: Applied Research Tools and Instruments Grants

Holland College's Applied Biotechnology Research Centre (ABRC) is seeking to enhance its research capabilities by acquiring the Buchi E-800 Speed Extractor Soxhlet System (SESS) through the NSERC Applied Research Tools and Instruments grant. The SESS will significantly amplify the ABRC's capacity for applied research, particularly in the extraction-focused projects crucial for various industries of importance to the PEI economy such as agriculture and agri-food, aquaculture, and pharmaceutical. The SESS acquisition is expected to catalyze collaborations with industry partners, contribute to the growth of the bioscience community in Prince Edward Island, and position Holland College as a hub for cutting-edge research, innovation, technical support, and training. The ABRC's strategic approach reflects a commitment to excellence, and responsiveness to the evolving needs of the biotechnology sector.
