@RachelD_Biochar@lovestonedra@EdNtuiOKey@SeanScarbrough6 We will be using a syringe pump loaded with the substance/drug formulation to flow through the chip. Regarding the last question, Professor Webster also voiced his concern and we will be incorporating fouling studies for future validation testing! (2/2)
@RachelD_Biochar@lovestonedra@EdNtuiOKey@SeanScarbrough6 Thanks Rachel! For the first question, the values for fluid flow, namely the pressure limits and flow rate are based on the literature of physiological blood flow in human capillaries. Blood will not be used as a medium in order to keep the chip purely synthetic. (1/2)
@CaninoZayas_P@lovestonedra@EdNtuiOKey@SeanScarbrough6 Thanks Paola,
We're expecting to sell our chip at a 40% margin, and our current plan is to sell the membranes (layers) separately (varying according to client needs). Our preliminary estimates have us selling membranes at around 10$ a piece. Attached is our competitive analysis
