- Description
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a sponsored research agreement or CRADA program. The Technology: Gamma camera imaging systems are essential tools in nuclear medicine clinics. These systems are routinely checked for quality performance using sealed ?flood? sources that present a uniform gamma field as a uniform gray-scale image in the camera field-of-view. Using a flood source, potential imaging system defects appear as lighter or darker regions to indicate locations of camera detectors that are not properly tuned. The absolute uniformity of the flood source is highly important. The flood source technology developed at the DOE?s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory involves a flood source device and method for making the device that provides a uniform radionuclide source distribution with highly uniform gamma levels across the surface of the flood source. This technology involves an improved design for flood shells featuring a strong ABS plastic outer shell and a durable and uniform epoxy resin filler of uniform thickness that contains a uniform distribution of cobalt-57. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than 45 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice.
