PHASE II, SBIR CONTRACT, N44TR-14-003, ?AUTOMATED SYSTEM TO CLEAN MICROTITER PLATES?.

IonField在双组分微量滴定板清洗系统的开发方面取得了实质性进展，并展示了原型硬件在市场上广泛使用的潜力。Ion Field在第2阶段提出了对系统进行一些具体改进和增强的建议。Ion Field还建议对代表各种检测类型、板材料类型和其他变量的板进行清洁，尽可能进行检测， 与NCATS实验室合作，因为他们在授予期间进行分析。一旦工程和硬件开发完成，我们将在NCATS进行现场测试。除了在NCATS进行的测试外，我们预计能够在诺华（Cam bridge和巴塞尔）和Sanford Burnham研究所（拉霍亚）进行类似的测试。这两个组织都表示有强烈的参与兴趣，并提交了支持这一申请的信函。由于在两个组织中获得正式批准的时间，我们预计在60 - 90天内不会达成协议，但会在协议获得批准后将其添加到我们的测试计划中

IonField has made substantial progress in the development of the two-component microtiter plate cleaning system and shown the prototype hardware to have the potential for wide use in the marketplace. Ion Field proposes in Phase 2 that a n umber of specific improvements and enhancements to the systems be developed. Ion Field also proposes to con duct cleaning of plates representing a broad range of assay types, plate material types and other variables doing testing to the extent possible and in conjunct ion with the NCATS lab as they perform assays over the award period. Once the engineering and hardware development is completed, we will test on site at NCATS. In addition to the testing at NCATS, we anticipate being able perform to similar testing at Novartis {Cam bridge and Basel) and Sanford Burnham Institute (La Jolla). Both have expresses strong interest in participation and have submitted letters of support for this application. Due to the time to formally get approvals in both organizations, we do not expect to conclude agreements for 60-90 days but will add these to our test plan as agreements are approved
