An open source graphical user interface (GUI) developed in MATLAB environment for application of discriminant analysis models (linear discriminant analysis [LDA], quadratic discriminant analysis [QDA], partial least squares discriminant analysis [PLS-DA]) using parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and Tucker3 method as multivariate deconvolution techniques for constructing predicate discriminant analysis models for trilinear three-way data.

UCLan's patented research is utilising aptamers, ligand-binding fragments of aptamers, and oligonucleotides for use as agents in the prevention and/or treatments of cancers, and diagnosis of cancers. These agents and methods are particularly useful in brain cancers such as gliomas.

UCLan's patented research has developed and patented a quick release rescue harness that allows rescuers to enter the water safely, complete the rescue and be recovered to shore.

UCLan research has developed a method of water treatment to remove water soluble organic pollutants, in particular phenols from water prior to the water being used. Our research has produced a material that may be used to remove the organic pollutants. The material is significantly lower in cost to produce than other known methods.

UCLan Research has developed methods of predicting a clinical outcome in a patient with brain cancer. The methods include the detection of brain cancers, the prediction of the clinical outcome, monitoring the progression of the brain cancer in a patient and methods of grading a patient’s brain cancer.

UCLan research is developing Rapidly Mutating Y Chromosome Short tandem repeats (RM Y-STRs) that can differentiate between closely related males. A 13 locus multiplex RM Y-STR PCR kit was developed to simultaneously amplify them, in a robust and sensitive manner down to 0.0625ng template DNA.

The test allows full RM Y-STR profile detection out of male/female mixtures, giving reliable results.

UCLan research has produced a solid dosage form printing apparatus for printing solid dosage forms including an active ingredient. The active ingredient may be pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or a food supplement.

UCLan patented research is developing new high performance fingerprint powders. These new powders have been developed from the surface modification of silica nano particles.

UCLan research has developed an improved enteric coating for solid dosage forms, an enteric coating and a method for preparing an enteric coating which provides improved functionality. For example to allow the active ingredients to get to the small intestine prior to being absorbed into the body, and in process satisfy all the requirement of an enteric coating.

3D Printed personalised medicine with channel technology

Many drugs that are potential candidates for the treatment of diseases need to reach the brain where they will interact to have the required efficancy.

Within the brain there is a permeable membrane known as the blood brain barrier, which drugs must cross to be able to reach the areas needed to have an effect.

UCLan research has developed a method of in vitro testing of compounds to assess whether they are capable of crossing the blood brain barrier and hence, be able to have efficacy in the brain.

Cannulas are often used to insert a thin tube into a patient's vein to provide venous access for blood sampling and administering fluids, medications and the like.

UCLan research has developed a new, improved Cannula which provides greater comfort for the patient whilst also providing all the necessary functions of a standard cannula.

Tourniquets provide a constricting or compressive force or pressure and are used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time. In particular, pressure is applied to the extremity by the tourniquet and this pressure reduces the level of bleeding from the extremity.

UCLan research has developed an improved tourniquet device that can be used to provide optimised pressure to an afflicted part of the body, to ensure that the tourniquet performs at an optimum level.

Cable management and management of flexible lines or tubing is an everyday need in a wide variety of industries including IT, clinical and construction, as well as in domestic use. If cables or flexible lines are left unmanaged such that they are strewn across a floor within a house or a hospital, they may constitute a safety hazard.

UCLan research have produced an apparatus for retaining flexible lines, which allows for the management of cabling in a safe manor.

Many pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food supplements, cosmetics, agricultural products and pesticides, constitute of liquid oils and their components or oily bioactives including marine and essential oils. In their liquid form these oils provide handling and transportation problems and some of them are unpleasant in taste and odour leading to unpalatability and poor consumer/patient acceptability. There is therefore a need for a simple and rugged technology for converting these oils into a more manageable form, like a solid powder form, which will improve the ease of handling, mask the taste, provide improved palatability and improve their stability.

UCLan research has developed a method of converting oils into powders in a quick process which can allow for the manufacture of these powders easily and safely on an industrial scale. The powders are non-toxic, easier to handle and suitable for consumption by humans and animals alike.

UCLan's research is developing solutions for the medical equipment market and in particular a dilator product for use in a clinical and home setting.

Remerge is software developed for and by expert facilitators to increase engagement with small and large groups and to capture workshop output fast and digitally.

The Fidget Widget Tool Kit helps to keep hands busy and relaxed. It is a new project from Active Minds, The Alzheimer's Society and UCLan.

The iCardio unit is an extremely lightweight chest belt ECG heart monitor, which connects wirelessly to a smart phone to provide advanced heart and respiratory rate monitoring and diagnosis.

A tool to make the multifaceted activity of assessment explicit and unambiguous for both the assessed and the assessor. The TAPE Model is designed to offer clarity to assessment relationships in order that all parties understand the six domains of assessment; why, when, who, what, where, and way. The visual tool structures dialogue between the assessor and the subject of assessment to work towards ethical practice in assessment.
