“We had no budget to conduct any of this, so when we found the funding opportunity with NPL that was a great moment. M4R has been a big risk reducer for us.”
“NPL has helped us to become more efficient (time and cost) in our product development by increasing their characterisation process whilst maintaining social distancing and reduced staff working.”
Working with NPL gave us access to the latest chemical analysis technology which allowed us to solve a problem well beyond our capabilities and identify a solution. This overcame a major roadblock to manufacturing the final product on a commercial scale. Tim Dwyer - Research and Development Director at AgPlus Diagnostics
