Linear Exergy Sensor (Isis-9630)
A device for measuring exergy, the amount of energy available to be used, in a thermal store.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Biomarker (Isis-8660)
Prognostic serum biomarker which identifies erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who are unlikely to respond to standard methotrexate or anti-TNF treatments.

Graphene Manufacture Technique (Isis-8727)
A commercial process for producing graphene and other 2D nanomaterials by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) using cheap copper foil.

Mobile, Handheld Electro-Spinning (Isis-9641)
A standalone, miniaturised, portable electro-spinning apparatus and an insulated capillary extension device for handheld dispensing; versatile applicability, including the direct spraying of wound dressings and tissue engineering.

Spring Bearing System (Isis-3887)
Maintenance-free linear machine technology. Applications include next-generation high power linear engine generators, and satellite and land-based cryocoolers.

Intelligent Healthcare Monitoring (Isis-8633)
A system for remotely determining patients’ mental and physical health. The technology enables health states to be classified and transmitted via mobile phones.

Anti-TNF Companion Diagnostic (Isis-9254)
This discovery may be used as a companion diagnostic for anti-TNF therapy to identify patients who may be at risk of developing MS as a side effect.

Affordable Cardiac Imaging (Isis-8260)
Cardiologists at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust have developed technology enabling the re-use and safe deployment of ultrasound probes, with the potential to be used in other medical fields reliant on internal imaging.

Nanomaterial Production Analysis (Isis-8336)
The invention permits the monitoring of the chemical reaction in-situ, can reveal how the reaction is progressing in real time, and helps identify intermediates.

Agrochemicals (Isis-7735)
Compounds that increase crop yields and the nutritional value of food.

Pneumococcal Disease Diagnostic (Isis-8259)
Detecting the biomarkers is faster and more sensitive than using blood cultures to predict bloodstream infection.

Malaria Diagnostic (Isis-9418)
This discovery represents a reliable alternative to existing rapid diagnostic tests, which often give false positive results.

CyMap: Lens-Free Imaging Device (Isis-8982)
A low-cost, miniaturisable lens-free imaging apparatus and method capable of detecting microscopic particles using an LED light source.
