A new company has been launched out of the University of Bath to develop “ground-breaking” technology designed to prevent vaccines from ‘spoiling’ during transportation.
Bio-tech spinout EnsilTech has been formed by chemistry researchers at the university who have been developing a new method which could allow for jabs to remain safe and effective at all temperatures.
Vaccines such as the Covid-19 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine have to be kept at very low temperatures, making them difficult to distribute around the world. Figures from the World Health Organisation suggest 50% of all doses are wasted.
