These systems are supplemented by phenotypic detection methods for the detection of clinically and epidemiologically relevant resistance mechanisms. MERLIN's diagnostic systems for quantitative susceptibility testing allow the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC value) in accordance with the normative requirements. MERLIN has already made essential preparations for this project because we are specialized in the development, validation and marketing of various microbiological diagnostic systems for the qualitative and quantitative detection of microbial antibiotic resistance. With this an infection can be treated very early in the process and very specifically. PathoSept is intended to open up the reliable diagnosis after nine hours, thus significantly reducing the high mortality rate, but above all the new generation and spread of multiresistant pathogens, as well as the intensive medical costs. Currently, the time between suspected diagnosis and targeted therapy can last up to five days, and infections with multiresistant pathogens can not be adequately treated. The volume of this project is about 3.5 million euros.Įvery year, more than 56,000 people die from sepsis in Germany, one of the most severe bacterial infections that can be even simply caused by a purulent tooth. In addition to the Fraunhofer Institute and MERLIN, the companies Carpegen GmbH, based in Münster, and Jüke Systemtechnik GmbH as well as the university clinics of Aachen and Bonn, belong to the network. Esther Pfeil, Managing Director of MERLIN Diagnostika. Based on these results, it can be initiated a targeted individual antibiotic therapy no later than nine hours", says Dr. It very quickly identifies pathogenic agents of life-threatening infections and simultaneously allows a quantitative determination of the antibiotic resistance profile.
"Winner is also our project 'PathoSept', with which we want to create a diagnostic complete system under the coordination of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology. In the key market competition LifeSciences.NRW, 10 joint projects were selected from 51 contest entries, which will be funded with a total of 19.3 million euros. This makes them an ideal energy carrier for domestic or business use, for transportation, and even for export to our trading partners.| MERLIN Diagnostika is one of the winners of the first round in the key market competition LifeSciences.NRW: Referees voted for the joint research project "PathoSept", which is intended to save many lives by rapidly diagnosing threatening infections. There are no compressed gases, the materials are shock resistant, and they will not burn even when fully charged. It can also be used to compensate for the variability in electricity generated from utility-scale renewables such as solar and wind as a result of varying weather patterns. More versatile and compact than a battery, hydrogen storage materials can store sufficient, sustainable energy to replace the petrol in your car and to power your home or business.
Our team is developing advanced materials that can store that hydrogen in a safe, compact, and efficient manner, and deliver it when and where it is needed. It is abundant, and when burnt the sole emission is pure water! Hydrogen can be generated by the electrolysis of water (splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen), and this process can be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind or hydro. Hydrogen is the most energetic fuel by weight.
