Florida Gulf Coast University is currently seeking companies interested in commercializing a novel method for delivering materials into biological systems using sonic energy. Introduction of biological and non-biological materials into cells, tissues, and whole organisms has many useful applications in a wide variety of fields. Other delivery methods have been developed for a selected number of biological systems but no one single method may efficiently be used to deliver every type of material into every target cell or tissue. Methods of efficiently introducing materials into non-vertebrate animal or plant systems would facilitate scientific discovery in many fields where delivery methods are inefficient or lacking. Florida Gulf Coast University researchers have developed a robust method for introducing materials into cells and whole organisms using focused acoustic energy.
