I'm a co-founder of InnovaPrep and co-inventor on 44 awarded patents held by the company in the field of sampling and sample preparation, primarily for modern microbiology and application to rapid microbial methods (RMMs). I have worked a lot on developing and commercializing RMM enabling technology/tools, including BioSims (organism simulant particles), Concentrating Pipette, surface samplers ,and air samplers such as the BobCat and Cub.
