Inventor: Eric Munson
Fellow Nick Huls will spend his fellowship commercializing a technology that he and Munson have developed as a quality control measurement for freeze-dried products with a focus on the medical field. Current testing methods are imprecise or require opening a vial, rendering it ineffective. Both can cost companies big money, as vials can be worth thousands of dollars each. Purdue’s innovative technology measures the mobility of freeze-dried components and allows for the analysis of material while still in the vial, reducing waste and saving money.
I’ve been interested in designing something that can help people, and this is the way I can use my engineering and pharmaceutical science background to help try to make more products readily available on the market. By reducing waste for pharmaceutical companies, hopefully we’ll be able to reduce the cost of the product in the long run.
