AcouSort secures technology rights from DTU

Report this content

AcouSort AB (“AcouSort”) has signed an agreement obtaining the rights to acquire an invention from the Technical University of Denmark (“DTU”). The invention relates to technology developed by Professor Henrik Bruus at DTU in collaboration with AcouSort and concerns a new and more efficient way of manufacturing AcouSort's acoustic chip.

”With this new technology, the future AcouSort separation chips will be easier to manufacture at high volumes in a more cost-effective way. By signing this agreement, we ensure that AcouSort stays in the absolute front line of developing acoustofluidics for automated sample preparation,” says AcouSort’s CEO Torsten Freltoft.

The development was made within the EU project BioWings, where AcouSort and DTU together with several other companies and universities are working on the development of the next generation of ultrasonic chips. AcouSort has already filed a patent application based on the invention. This is the second patent application that AcouSort's long and successful collaboration with DTU has resulted in. The first acquisition of patent rights from DTU was announced in a press release on 19 January 2018.
