Fluidic Analytics, a spin-out of Cambridge University, has received a £250k ($384k) Development of Prototype Award from state agency Innovate UK’s Smart scheme.

The award, which follows a £100k proof-of-concept grant from Innovate UK last year, will be used to further develop Fluidic’s protein characterisation technology. The platform can be used to provide real-time information to help scientists and healthcare professionals diagnose diseases and develop treatments.

Andrew Lynn, CEO of Fluidic Analytics, said “This second award from Innovate UK will enable us to further accelerate development of the Flow Mk-1 and bring us closer to launching the first of our cutting-edge products for the research market. We are extremely grateful to Innovate UK for its support.”
