Centeo has designed a hand-held portable thermal control unit, which allows test samples to be exposed to multiple, controlled temperatures throughout the experiment protocol, saving time and increasing the accuracy of testing.  No similar product is currently on the market. The technology has been developed over the last four years by CEO Dr Gabriela Juarez-Martinez and Dr Philipp Steinmann, CTO, and is set to transform thermal control protocols in the pharmaceutical and academic research sectors, where more than £500 million is routinely committed to the research and launch of each new drug.
