1 Anna Stenstam CR Competence Contract Research, chemistry/chemical engineering CR Development Product development NMR/MRI; cell permeability (water diffusion) Surgery; anti-adhesion product

2 How to utilize present laboratory capacities Work by CR, financed by Vinnova, Supported by MAX IV and ESS

3 Who we are and what we do Adding Value Through Science

4 And this is how we do it Sell, i.e. call, meet, interview Create a project plan = Quote Generate results sometimes using synchrotrone light. Report, i.e. sell again...: presentations, workshops, seminars, written documents. Demands a team of scientists that understands business.

5 The MAX lab experience SAXS Gel system COSMETICS EXAFS Cu-organic complex, MEDICAL DEVICE XRPD Fe-sugar complex, PHARMA

6 Combining methods SAXS Gel system COSMETICS NMR diffusion EXAFS Cu-organic complex, MEDICAL DEVICE SEM XRPD Fe-sugar complex, PHARMA DLS

7 Our point of view Bridging is needed. One Point of Contact is preferred. : Companies have needs not the right project plan. The apparent need is not always the actual need. : Companies need partners not instruments. The deliverables are important the details are implicit. : Companies want solutions not data. The answer they want is rarely 12 Å, but rather that it can be pumped.

8 One Stop Shop The Industrial Science Team

9 The Chemical Centre NMR DLS, DWS, 3DDLS, LD GC-MS FTIR, CD XRPD AFM Ellipsometry, QCM A synchrotron (eg. MAX) Microtomography SAXS, WAXS Diffraction EXAFS Crystallography Surface diffraction IR Other labs Analytical labs Engineering groups Innovative companies University hospitals Institutes The synchrotrone provides the more brilliant tools in the tool box, of course.

10 An impossible balance? Feasibility Cost Nice to know Need to know Techniques Systems Perfectionism Budget Scientists Managers Academic front line Business intelligence

11 MSEK Our experience: This is possible! 7 years, 8 countries 54 different companies. Being a part of their team while keeping the outside perspective. Colloidal Resource has brought great insights and value to real world problems in our product development cycle. They have a great balance of being focused on the end product and also bring best in class scientific thinking and approaches Eric S. Johnson, P&G Beauty

12 But there are Crucial functions for success 1. Instruments and methodology : Front line, Up to date, Know-how, data analysis, extending beyond : And communicated to the Industrial Science Team. (or beyond)

13 Crucial functions for success 2. Project management : Feasibility tests must be made easier. I want to come with my pellet, sample, gel and try. For a minimal fee On Tuesdays? : Extended secrecy agreements. No IP issues. : Soft ware for data analysis sharing of data. : Respect for the time lines. It is not academic papers. : Professionalism. Buying services not getting a favor.

14 Crucial functions for success 3. Account management : It takes time to understand the problem and create the best study plan. : It takes time to understand the company issues and learn both languages. Business intelligence! : The client/user want to be understood, to have a relationship.

16 Subjective idea A One Stop Shop could be set up and work like CR; successful from start We could easily collaborate with Industrial Science Teams in other countries, near other facilities. What do you think? Involve us!

17 Anna Stenstam Thank you for your attention

18 POSITIVE experiences Nice people! Too nice? Are they doing me a favor? Valuable results Fast access most of the time. Luck? More can be done than I thought I want to test other stuff Oops! Time s up... Waiting mode.
