Pinpoint is currently combining the biosensor platform with the air sampling mechanism using unique porous ceramic filters that perform photocatalysis under ultraviolet light. The new system will have an advanced air-contamination system devised by Pinpoint using an innovative diagnostic technique developed at the University of Glasgow.īased on nanopatterned plasmonic consumables, which are manufactured in a similar way to blu-rays, the system allows testing for pathogens at more affordable costs with minimal staff time requirements. The current monitoring and control of these infections are laborious, time-consuming and limited in their effectiveness, requiring testing swabs from surfaces and equipment, and wiping them down with disinfectant. The simple-to-use system is ideal for operating theatres and designed to target superbugs, bacterial infections, virus-based diseases and spores carrying fungal infections.Įvery year, airborne infections that spread between hospital patients, staff and visitors cost the NHS billions of pounds. Growing the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Division by building the team and expanding the client base is Sarah’s main professional endeavour – one which combines her interest in science and her desire to help people achieve fulfilling careers.The combined system works to detect and eliminate airborne pathogensĪ new air-filtering system developed by the University of Glasgow and Pinpoint Medical aims to detect and eliminate airborne pathogens to combat the spread of infections in hospitals.įunded by the UK Research and Innovations’ (UKRI) Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the platform will decontaminate the air of pathogens and measure air quality to ensure a safer and healthier environment.
