[nanoPost] Bioactive coatings

We have just recently initiated a new collaboration with a Japanese corporation in this area specifically for a special kind of filter systems and are open for other antifouling applications for our coatings.
The company’s Nano S' bioactive coatings are based on self-assembling so-called S-layer proteins that naturally occur on a large variety of bacteria and archeae.
The company has isolated bacteria strains and S-layer proteins and genes that can be utilized to create uniform, reproducible self-assembling protein coatings on various surfaces including plastics, metals, glass, etc.. Such coatings have antifouling properties (i.e. prevent attachment of bacteria, biofilms, etc.) and can be chemically treated to endure prolonged exposure to high temperatures, very low as well as very high pH-levels, and high pressure.
Stage of commercialization: See above.
