TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Portable Slide Staining System for Microscopy (MSC-TOPS-132)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center, through its Technology Transfer Program, is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a Portable Slide Staining System for Microscopy. The licensed technology is a handheld, self-contained, and reusable slide staining system designed to support medical, research, or environmental monitoring on Earth and in microgravity environments. The system features a dispenser with an adjustable reagent sponge delivery system and a slide staining device that traps and seals the specimen slide, making it applicable to all known staining procedures. No funding or follow-on procurement will be provided by NASA in conjunction with these potential exclusive or nonexclusive licenses. Interested parties must submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System, and inquiries can be directed to Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov.
