About this technology
Overview
SBIR funding for InnovaPrep LLC of Drexel, Missouri, led to a bioconcentration system for testing air and water quality on the space station and improved the company’s commercial technology. The funding and requirements from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory spurred better manufacturing, performance, reliability, and shelf life for kits that test for pathogens and other contaminants.
