Wideblue Client Wins 2012 Converge Challenge

Wide Blue 15 October 2012

Congratulations to Wideblue client Dr. Ekaterina McKenna who recently won second prize in the 2012 Converge Challenge with her business plan for Dynamic Bioarray.

Dr. McKenna of University of Glasgow’s College of Medical, Veterinary, and Life Sciences plans to create a new bio-nanotechnology company based in Scotland that will provide products, IP, consultancy, and services for the world-wide micro- and nano-array technology market.

Working from a proof of concept prototype provided by Dr. McKenna, Wideblue engineered the BioarrayClip to accurately align and clamp the microfluidic layers in a compact package suited to mass manufacture, whilst ensuring that the device addresses user requirements for ease of use and ergonomics.

The product has been very well received and we wish Dr. McKenna the best of luck as she builds her business.
