The LANS Venture Acceleration fund provided $98,000 to Elling's company for a proof of concept to design and manufacture a hand-held flow cytometry device using technology licensed from the Laboratory. Such a device could be used for counting, examining, and sorting microscopic particles suspended in a stream of fluid such as blood cells in blood plasma.
