Developing Innovations in Flow Cytometry

In August of 2009 fNIR Devices, LLC started its operations after licensing various technologies from the estate of Dr. Britton Chance and the Drexel University.  fNIR Devices offerings, a line of Continuous Wave Functional Near Infrared imaging tools, are capable of monitoring brain’s hemodynamics and thereby the cognitive state of the subject in natural environments. fNIR technology employs specific wavelengths in an optical frequency window that can easily pass through a few centimeters for most tissues allowing monitoring of blood oxygenation changes. The relative changes of light intensity across time provide the researchers with information about neural activity.   Todate with over 250 brain imagers in the field, fNIR Devices is the premier supplier of fNIR Spectroscopy imaging systems for research and other non-clinical applications. 

ExeGi leverages the growing advances in the field of the microbiome science to deliver novel, clinically supported, live biotherapeutic and probiotic treatments for a wide variety of unmet medical needs. We offer a high-potency probiotic medical food, Visbiome™, consisting of eight strains of live, freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria.  Visbiome is specially formulated for the dietary management of dysbiosis associated with IBS, ulcerative colitis, pouchitis, and hepatic encephalopathy. Visbiome is a non-drug therapy that addresses distinct nutritional requirements, to promote microbial balance, in people with IBS, ulcerative colitis, pouchitis, and hepatic encephalopathy that cannot be addressed by the modification of the diet alone. Visbiome is currently the subject of eight clinical trials, as a medical food, in several new disease states including HIV, autism spectrum disorders, and liver cirrhosis. Visbiome is intended to be used under the supervision of a physician.
