The novel aspect of this patented technology lies in the specific combination of a functionalised nanocarrier ( A single-walled carbon nanotube with polyethylene glycol), targeting moiety (folic acid), and unique plant extract compounds (which and known for their medicinal properties and potential

Planktonic or free-living microbes naturally adhere to the sensing surface of the BioTrac system. These biofilms are representative of the physical biofouling that occurs on surfaces in the test environment. The microbes produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a byproduct of metabolic activity. The rate of

The technology relates to a process for obtaining protein from Black Soldier Fly larvae (insects/worms). The process extracts protein from Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), separates the protein from undesired lipids and chitin and upgrades the protein to a consumer-acceptable grade, ultimately

The technology helps the fresh produce industry prosper by being more competitive. By improving the packaging component, the technology assists: Growers & Exporters be more competitive & sustainable thus to sell more product at better prices; Shipping companies to be more competitive, by using less

In its current state, the software produces the key technical feasibility metrics and graphs, which help the user answer the questions of requirements and viability for a fleet. Although the software is free and open-source, it is a terminal/command-line application which requires technical IT

Stellenbosch’s solution is a 2-component injectable hydrogel designed to block the vas deferens, thus preventing the passage of sperm cells. Unlike a vasectomy, this hydrogel is reversible, restoring fertility. The hydrogel is formulated from two aqueous polymer solutions with complementary reactive

This technology utilises the unique properties of a specific type of biosurfactant to selectively recover metals from solution. Using comparatively low concentrations of biosurfactant, the metals can be recovered (and potentially valorised), and the surfactant can even be recycled back for further

Livestock Management Database System is a user-driven, holistic and easy-to-use mobile-based solution accessible on smartphones and computers (SaaS). It facilitates direct and two-way real-time communication among farmers, and between farmers and extension services, researchers, and agricultural

Nanosene (Pty) Ltd‘s technology centres around the development of polymer tools tailored for membrane proteins (MP) drug target research. Unlike existing solutions, Nanosene’s polymers are optimised to isolate MPs, with the added benefit of customisation possibilities. This technology enables the

The CREDO (CartRidge Extractor DiagnOsis) Device is a device designed to safely and sterilely remove fluid remaining after assay completion from used cartridges (this used cartridge would otherwise be discarded). This fluid can be useful for downstream applications (these downstream tests could be

The technology integrates melatonin with bio-identical estrogen to counteract the pro tumorigenic effects associated with estrogen. The research conducted demonstrated that combining melatonin with estrogen diminishes estrogen’s proliferative impact on breast cancer cells and attenuates their

A computer implemented method, system or programme for combining a three-dimensional PET scan and a CT scan of a body into a combined image for segmentation, comprising of: Co-registering each of the PET scan and the CT scan as an input with reference to each other. Extracting metadata from the
