A unique R&D model for science labs
For labs, we offer a pathway to commercialization with no upfront R&D costs.
You test and refine a tool with us, and we bring it to market—sharing royalties with you for your expertise.
Why do we do this?
Many labs lack the resources to turn their ideas and experience into marketable products, sometimes simply because it’s not their primary focus.
We are excited about getting these ideas out into the world, so we offer a way for labs to outsource this product development process and create a new revenue stream.
How does it work?
Initial Consultation
Labs approach us with challenges or ideas that could have broader appeal. We assess if our partnership model is a good fit.
Preliminary Design
We provide a no-obligation design with specifications, pricing, and a timeline.
Equipment purchase
The lab makes a commitment to buy the tool as described, paying only for the final product.
Prototype Development
We develop and refine functional prototypes, with the lab as our testing partner.
Commercialization
The product is finalized for market while the lab uses an advanced prototype. The lab then receives the finished tool.
Ongoing Revenue
The lab earns royalties from every sale of the product—indefinitely.
