This invention is continuous flow reactor technology used to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various drugs. These include AIDS ( Emtricitabine, Lamivudine and Efavirenz), TB (Isoniazid), influenza (Tamiflu) and diabetes (Gliclazide, chlorpropamide, glipizide, glibenclamide

KaziHealth is a health promotion programme consisting of a behaviour change model that targets health behaviours, as well as perceived levels of stress and mental health outcomes. This includes a health risk assessment, an online short learning programme and the KaziHealth mobile app. These tools

A renewable energy powered street light which provides off-grid lighting. Powered by a combination system of a vertical axis wind turbine, a solar panel, and a rechargeable battery system. Twerly™ uses a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) to harvest wind energy and a standard 140W photovoltaic (PV)

An engineer at Nelson Mandela University has developed a secure storage trolley for tablet computers. The storage also has a charging component which allows for them to be charged while safely stored.

A camera, roughly the size of that used for CCTV, can locate gunshots by detecting potassium emissions from the muzzle flash. Dubbed, ‘The K-line camera’ (K being the symbol for potassium on the periodic table), it can be integrated into a CCTV network in a hotspot area for gun-related crime

The need for accurate, rapid and sensitive detection of bio-molecules is becoming ever more pressing. The aforementioned are needed in several industries, ranging from clinical diagnostics and screening to assessing microbial contamination in water and even plant disease diagnostics, to name just a

PhenoLAB is an online web-based analyses platform and database for wine producers. PhenoLAB incorporates highly accurate, extensive and robust analyses methods based on absorbency values for determining tannins, colour density, anthocyanins and total phenolics levels in grapes, fermenting must and

Geasy: The Smart Geyser System Together the smart geyser controller and consumer management devices form a system that enables considerable water and electricity savings. The system monitors the geyser in real-time and allows the consumer to set an optimal heating scheduling. Using an online

SUNSPOT is a solar thermal power plant with rock-bed storage, containing a unique set of patented and individually licensable Stellenbosch University technologies. The SUNSPOT cycle is appropriate and efficient for generating, storing and deploying solar power in arid regions.

A scalable pneumatic cushion features an array of pressure-controlled air cells, each equipped with a pressure sensor for closed-loop control. This allows for precise regulation of pressure in high-risk areas, promoting blood flow and reducing localized pressure. The system uses a microcontroller to

This technology introduces a new class of zwitterionic polymers designed to gently break apart lipid bilayers and form stable lipid nanodiscs. These nanodiscs can capture and isolate membrane proteins in an environment that closely mimics their natural state. At the core of the invention is a

Fluorobiotech’s technology drastically decreases the amount of time spent recovering target proteins from producer cells. Reducing the extraction time from 1 hour’s hard labour with multiple steps to an effortless one-step process that can take less than 15 minutes. This allows for parallel
