Companies from Guernsey, Cheyenne, Jackson, Laramie, Sheridan and Thermopolis receive grants
CHEYENNE – Companies from Guernsey, Cheyenne, Jackson, Laramie, Sheridan and Thermopolis received a $5,000 grant to help develop their ideas into competitive proposals for federal funding.
The grant is part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 0 Program, sponsored by the Wyoming Business Council. The SBIR Phase 0 Program helps Wyoming companies develop competitive proposals for the federal SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Under these programs, Wyoming businesses have the potential to receive up to $850,000 in federal funding to develop their ideas into products through a two-stage process.
March SBIR Phase 0 Winners:
CC Technology/DeltaNu, based in Laramie, received a Phase 0 for its proposal “Detection of Trans in Edible Oils and Fats with Raman Spectroscopy.” Food manufacturers are now required to report trans fat levels in their products. Raman spectroscopy is a fast and inexpensive method of making this determination. The proposal will be submitted to NIH.
Gem City Veterinary Clinic, based in Laramie, received a Phase 0 grant for its proposal “Equine Emergency and Recovery Splinting System (EERS).” Severe equine limb wounds often require immobilization but need periodic treatment. The removable EERS provides this capability. The proposal will be submitted to the USDA, Animals Production and Protection.
Mosser Mining & Minerals, L.L.C., based in Thermopolis, received a Phase 0 grant for its proposal “Application of Raman Spectroscopy in the analysis and production of "lead free" solders and alloys.” Existing process waste streams can contain expensive technical metals, which can be recovered and reused. Raman spectroscopy will be used to detect, qualify and quantify these metals for recovery. The company will submit its proposal to the National Science Foundation.
The SBIR Phase 0 program is a project of the Wyoming SBIR/STTR Initiative. The initiative is funded by the Wyoming Business Council and administered by the University of Wyoming Vice-President for Research. For more information, visit www.uwyo.edu/sbir.
The mission of the Wyoming Business Council is to facilitate the economic growth of Wyoming. For more information, please visit the Web site at www.wyomingbusiness.org.

Inspector Raman Acknowledged by Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization and the Air Force Research Laboratory
June 23rd - Laramie, Wyoming
The Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization (OLETC), a division of the department of justice (www.oletc.org) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) (www.afrl.af.mil) have each confirmed the utility of DeltaNu's Inspector Raman platform to identify unknown chemical and biological agents.
OLETC searched for new technologies that meet the requirements of today's challenges in law enforcement. OLETC has recognized the value of DeltaNu's Inspector Raman for immediate crime scene analysis in its feature newsletter, OLETC Today (Inspector Raman). The Inspector Raman "is set to revolutionize the way authorities respond to threats of bioterrorism, drug seizures and hazardous materials," says the article.
OLETC's Inspector Raman news feature discusses how OLETC and DeltaNu worked together to evaluate the Inspector Raman as well as present it to the OLETC Advisory Council to obtain expert opinions about its functionality, thereby securing its usefulness in this field.
In a separate article, the AFRL sponsored a research project at Northwestern University using the Inspector Raman. The goal of the project is to develop a reliable and robust SERS substrate that would enhance the detection of hazardous chemical and biological species. With the Inspector Raman Northwestern scientists successfully developed substrates which enabled SERS based rapid detection of an anthrax biomarker and were able to detect anthrax at 1/4 the lethal dosage. AFRL is continuing to develop this technology by further exploring ways to use SERS to identify trace amounts of chemical agents, biological agents, and toxic species.
For more information about biological warfare sensors at Northwestern University, see Journal of Raman spectroscopy, 2005 36:471-484.
The Inspector Raman is truly a world-class evidence identification system that is also extremely useful for teaching forensic analysis. DeltaNu has recently expanded its line of products in this area to the field of microscopy by introducing the NuScopeTM, an electronic microscope accessory to the Inspector Raman, as well as coming out with a full-featured, lab bench Raman microscope
