The Platinum award was presented to “VIP-Safe Plus”, while the Gold medal was awarded to “Cassava Starch-based Hydrogel as a Super-disintegrant in Drug Tablets.”
“VIP-Safe Plus” is a novel integrated Point-of-Care system for detection of food-borne pathogens. The instrument was designed to contain a built-in battery as a power source rendering it suitable for detection work in the field.
The other award-winning invention is a hydrogel produced from cassava starch which can quickly absorb water and swell very fast without the formation of a viscous gel layer, making it suitable for use in the drug industry.
Both inventions will be put on display at BITEC Bang Na from February 2-5, 2018.
