FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Keith Carron, Ph. D, CEO, DeltaNu Tim Studt, Editor-in-Chief, R&D Magazine Tom Lacock, Senior Marketing and Public Relations Specialist DeltaNu named one of R&D’s Top 100 CHEYENNE – DeltaNu of Laramie has earned a place in the prestigious R&D 100 by R&D Magazine, the premier journal dedicated to inventions and innovations in the country. The R&D 100 awards, which have been dubbed “The Oscars of Invention” by the Chicago Tribune, will be presented during a black-tie banquet Oct. 20 held in the Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier in Chicago. “We are known in some areas more for the R&D 100 than we are for anything else,” said Tim Studt, editor-in-chief of R&D Magazine. “We don’t recognize the companies as much as we do the technology developed and the people that developed it. “The people who are recognized at the banquet are really the elite of the elite.” DeltaNu won the award for their work in Raman Spectroscopy. The firm released an instrument called The Investigator this year, which is used to follow high speed chemical reactions that are accelerated by microwaves. The microwave process is called microwave assisted synthesis and follows the same principle as a microwave oven. Chemical reactions that take hours by traditional heating methods take place in seconds in a microwave reactor. The primary market for these reactors is drug discovery, where large pharmaceutical companies want to develop new drugs as rapidly as possible. “This innovation is far more sophisticated than the microwave reactors themselves,” Keith Carron, CEO of DeltaNu said. The project took a little over a year to complete by the DeltaNu technical team, which recently installed the first system at one of the world’s largest drug manufactures, AstraZenaca. DeltaNu is working with CEM Corporation in Mathews, North Carolina to sell embedded systems in CEM’s microwave reactors. “We are very gratified to win such a prestigious award”, said Rick Cox, VP Sales and Marketing for DeltaNu. “Our core technology and emphasis is Raman Spectroscopy, and our R&D team is the engine that drives DeltaNu products to niche markets. This further substantiates that they are one of the most innovative group of engineers and chemists in their field.” Since opening its doors in 1997 DeltaNu has teamed with several of the Wyoming Business Council’s economic development partners from the University of Wyoming. The Small Business Development Center was valuable in helping DeltaNu develop a business plan, while the Market Research Center at UW performed research studies for the firm. The Research Product Center has been key in helping DeltaNu with intellectual property issues. Manufacturing Works has aided with everything from manufacturing standards to inventory control. In addition to providing funding for all of the groups listed above, the Wyoming Business Council aided DeltaNu by helping negotiate a bank loan which allowed DeltaNu to move into their current location in Laramie. DeltaNu has also taken advantage of the Small Business Innovation Research grant program. The Phase 0 portion of this program is funded in part through the Wyoming Business Council. In all, DeltaNu has received grants totaling $3.7 million from this program. “DeltaNu is a great example of the kind of technology business we are trying to develop in Wyoming,” said Wyoming Business Council Chief Operating Officer Bob Jensen. “The Business Council is happy to have been able to help in the growth of DeltaNu. “These kinds of technology-based jobs are what we and the university are striving to help generate.” The mission of the Wyoming Business Council is to facilitate the economic growth of Wyoming.
