December:- Biox wins SMART Award

Biox has won a SMART award from the UK's Small Business Service to study the feasibility of developing new types of measurement head for water vapour flux density. Applications targets include the regulated medical market and industrial sectors such as food, packaging and textiles, where water vapour transport needs to be monitored and controlled. SMART awards are granted on a competitive basis, where companies' ideas are measured against each other and the most attractive ones are supported. The project ends in June 2004.

 

November:- Biox wins BT Award for Technical Innovation

  On November 29 at the 2002 London Business Innovation Awards, staged in the British Library, Biox Systems Ltd won the BT Award for Technical Innovation for the development of the AquaFlux. The AquaFlux measurement principle was invented by Professor Bob Imhof and his research team, to measure three in-vivo skin parameters, trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), skin surface water loss (SSWL) and perspiration and how they change with skin type, skin condition and in response to environmental exposure or skin treatments.

Gillette

National Physical Laboratory

London South Bank University (Skin Bioengineering Research Centre)

Further support for the project in terms of expertise and the loan of instruments is provided by the following manufacturers:-
