Intellectual Ventures Laboratory Tour
Thursday, October 19 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM 14360 SE Eastgate Way, Bellevue Register by Tuesday, October 17
Intellectual Ventures believes that invention sparks progress. They believe in the inventor, and in the collaborative nature of invention. They believe that to make meaningful advances, they have to embrace new ideas – to dare to see the world a different way. They believe that while failure is a part of taking risks, it is also a tool for learning and a foundation on which to build the next idea. The team at IV Lab discovers, invents and develops advanced technology in a wide variety of fields for commercial or humanitarian use.
Artificial Diet IV Lab is developing an artificially manufactured mosquito food to help scientists and health programs raise mosquitoes effectively.
Optical TB Diagnostics IV Lab is developing novel optical detection methods for automated identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Malaria Diagnostics IV Lab is developing new malaria diagnostic techniques in support of elimination and eventual eradication of malaria.
Milking and Transportation System The Milking and Transportation System is a safer, more affordable milking, storage and transportation system for milk collection.
Photonic Fence One potential use of the Photonic Fence is to create a virtual fence that detects insects as they cross its plane.
Passive Vaccine Storage Device IV Lab's passive vaccine storage device keeps vaccines cold for a month or more to extend vaccination services in developing countries.
The Laboratory The 87,000 square feet of workspace includes dedicated photonics, nanotechnology, electronics, environmental testing, metallurgical analysis, physics, chemistry and biology laboratories, as well as a state-of-the-art instrument shop and mosquito insectary.
Instrument Shop The Instrument Shop allows IV Lab to develop ideas quickly from concept through to manufacture and testing.
Insectary Their 200 square foot Insectary houses species from both the Aedes and Anopheles mosquito genera.
Environmental Chambers Tests in the Environmental Chambers are designed to collect data in conditions beyond what is expected in the field.
Photonics The Photonics Lab leverages a combination of world-class tools and diverse optical expertise.
Electronics The Electronics Lab houses a wide selection of specialized equipment and software for prototype fabrication and analysis.
Biology + Chemistry The Biology and Chemistry Lab combines a pair of active wet laboratories with experienced biologists and chemists.
