BioMedInnovations (BMI) announces an exclusive license agreement with Duke University, Durham, NC, to commercialize and bring a new acellular solution for the perfusion and preservation of organs and tissue in research to the market.
- BMI collaborated with Duke University’s Ex Vivo Organ Lab (DEVOL) to develop DEVOL Solution™ using BMI’s CaVESWave® organ and tissue perfusion platform and OrganBank™.
- The DEVOL Solution™ is an acellular perfusate that mimics the oncotic pressure, osmotic pressure, and acid-base balance of human plasma and provides critical electrolytes like sodium, calcium, and potassium. DEVOL Solution™ allows OrganBank™ to operate at sub-normothermic temperatures.
- The confidential composition of DEVOL Solution™ is held by Duke University and is a BMI trade secret.
- BMI aims to supply DEVOL Solution™ for use with its current and future perfusion devices, with its research partners and clients, and for commercial use with other devices and other purposes.
