CENTER FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES
ELAST's laboratory is located at the Center for Applied Technologies in San Diego, California. The Center for Applied Technologies (CACT) is a government-funded laboratory, which is designed to accelerate the path of biotech products from R&D to manufacturing. CACT offers technological time-sharing, whereby certain equipment, otherwise cost prohibitive for development-stage companies, is available. CACT is a member of the National Coalition of Advanced Technology Centers and has served since 1992 as a regional affiliate of the National Institute for Standards and Technology Manufacturing Extension Centers. Since 1997, it has been a Regional Affiliate of NASA's Far West Regional Technology Transfer Center.
ELAST's engineers are utilizing CACT's laboratories and manufacturing extension resources to facilitate the completion of the ELAST DeviceTM and the Bio-Potential Instrument in addition to exploring additional applications. ELAST is confident that CACT's wide-ranging resources, such as immediate laser prototyping and varied technical assistance, as well as its access to the latest technologies will accelerate final development of the ELAST DeviceTM.
