Description

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is offering companies the chance to obtain licensing rights—exclusive or non‑exclusive—to commercialize a portable slide‑staining system originally developed for the International Space Station. The system consists of a self‑contained dispenser with an adjustable reagent sponge and a slide‑staining device that delivers titrated reagents to microscope slides, enabling rapid in‑situ medical diagnostics in microgravity and, potentially, terrestrial laboratory and field settings. No funding is provided with the license; interested parties must submit an application via NASA’s ATLAS portal.

Budget estimate

$50,000 – $500,000

Because NASA provides no direct funding, revenue would come from license fees, royalties, and possible milestone payments. Similar technology transfer licenses for specialized medical devices typically range from low‑six‑figure upfront payments to multi‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar royalty streams over several years. Therefore, a reasonable estimate is $50,000 to $500,000 in total expected earnings for the initial licensing period.
