Whitebox-HD2 is a range of high-level disinfection equipment that uses LED technology, and is the first of its type to achieve compliance to the BS8628:2022 UV-C surface disinfection standard. The miniaturized LED technology has made this possible in a compact, point of care form due to the small light sources, which are used with highly reflective materials that magnify the radiation, increasing the UV-C dose on the surface to be treated. LED technology is rapidly gaining in efficiency, and this project will allow the latest generation devices to be realized, resulting in a 70% reduction in processing cycle time.

MARPLE (MagMove Assisted RNA Purification and Lateral flow Evaluation) is an innovative point-of-care diagnostic platform designed to rapidly and accurately differentiate between bacterial and viral infections. Using patent-protected mRNA biomarkers, MARPLE provides results in under 10 minutes from a small blood sample, enabling timely and precise clinical decision-making. The DETECTIVE project focuses on optimising MARPLE’s diagnostic accuracy, validating its performance with clinical samples, and ensuring it is affordable, user-friendly, and scalable for use in NHS A&E departments. By reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions, MARPLE addresses the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance while improving patient care.

Vitec Microgenix has developed an innovative system targeted at reducing the microbial burden within indoor environments, particularly in healthcare settings. The system combines advanced air purification with surface sterilisation, offering a comprehensive approach to creating hygienic environments. This system targets a broad spectrum of microbes, including those responsible for HCAIs. By integrating air and surface protection, the VML system ensures a safer and more hygienic environment, addressing the limitations of traditional cleaning and sterilisation methods.
