After having successfully concluded a demonstrationon the main performance features of the newly developed FOODSCAN device at the Six-monthly Meeting hosted by Partner Uniscan Instruments Ltd. (on 11th of March 2013 in Buxton, UK), the RTD Partners have produced and delivered in July 2013 ten (10) FOODSCAN devices together with the biorecognition elements and electrode strips to all SME Partners.
