BSTM™ Device Pilot Manufacturing Scale Up
EF 2024-25 · 2024-09-03
Résumé
This project seeks support from NRC-IRAP to facilitate the scale up of manufacturing of the Biofilm Surface Test Materials (BSTM™) Device to address a massive unmet need in the regulated medical device and antimicrobial therapeutic space. The BSTM™ Device is a simple ‘Petri Dish for Biofilms’ that allows for high-throughput screening of different surfaces. Currently, the method is under review as an internationally recognized ASTM test method. The device is currently at TRL 7 with the focus of this phase on local Alberta production and scale up to service the massive, growing anti-biofilm testing and product development market.

Description
This project seeks support from NRC-IRAP to facilitate the scale up of manufacturing of the Biofilm Surface Test Materials (BSTM™) Device to address a massive unmet need in the regulated medical device and antimicrobial therapeutic space. The BSTM™ Device is a simple ‘Petri Dish for Biofilms’ that allows for high-throughput screening of different surfaces.

The device is currently at TRL 7 with the focus of this phase on local Alberta production and scale up to service the massive, growing anti-biofilm testing and product development market.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à obtenir le soutien du PARI CNRC pour faciliter la mise à l’échelle de la fabrication du dispositif BSTM™ (Biofilm Surface Test Materials) afin de répondre à un besoin massif non satisfait dans le domaine des dispositifs médicaux réglementés et de l’espace thérapeutique antimicrobien. Le dispositif BSTM™ est une simple « boîte de Pétri pour biofilms » qui permet le dépistage à haut débit de différentes surfaces. La méthode est en cours d’examen en tant que méthode d’essai ASTM internationalement reconnue. Le dispositif en est actuellement au NMT 7, l’objectif de cette phase étant la production locale en Alberta et la mise à l’échelle pour desservir le marché massif et croissant des tests anti-biofilms et du développement de produits.
