Main Business Activity: Active Chemistry Based Stickers for the Detection of Hazardous Substances

Company Profile, Products & Technologies, Target Market

Stamp-Test, an Israeli SME, has developed a novel chemistry-based platform for the detection of hazardous substances that can be tailored and infused with chemical detecting technology to indicate the presence of Lead in toys, pesticides on fruit, explosive materials on packages and more.

Our  innovative "Lab in a Stamp" method consists of easy to use stickers that change color when they come in contact with a surface containing hazardous agents. The founders of company have extensive formal knowledge and practical experience in the field of chemistry and industrial manufacturing which combined and allowed them to realize their technology.  

The company seeks partners having a confirmed colorimetric-type technology for detecting pesticides on agricultural produce, which can be integrated into its stickers.

Brief description of proposed R&D project:

Stamp-Test has developed a unique technological platform of stickers containing a selective chemistry which extracts and reacts with hazardous substances to give a clear indication of their presence to the laymen user.
 
The company is currently engaged on expanding its technological spectrum to include the ability of identifying pesticides on the surfaces of agricultural products via its sticker platform for use by private consumers. As part of this effort, the company is looking to integrate chemical or biochemical based indicators into its stickers, such that it produces a visible response when exposed to pesticides (preferably by a distinct colour change).

Desired Profile of R&D Partner and its role in the proposed R&D project:

The desired partner should have the required technology (see general specifications below) at hand with relatively little customization required to integrate it into a sticker platform; or be able to develop the mentioned technology. The partner should be a developer, researcher, or manufacturer of chemical and/or biochemical based sensors / indicator / detectors / analysis systems.

The partner's technology should be applicable according the followings general specifications:

1. The technology must present an easily discernable optical response to the identification of a wide spectrum of pesticides, but not necessarily quantifiable.
2. The technology must be sensitive enough to detect residue quantities of pesticides on the surface of fruits and vegetables under ambient room conditions.
3. The technology (as a whole) must be robust and should have the feasibly of incorporation / encapsulation and miniaturization into the dimensions and structure of a sticker.
