Applications
IntAct Labs LLC
is developing revolutionary technologies and products in the area of biological energy production. With a expertise in synthetic biology, electronics, chemical engineering, systems engineering, our team is pushing the frontiers of energy technologies based on direct biological mechanisms.
Microbial Fuel Cells
Microbial fuel cells employ communities of microbes to convert organic matter and waste directly into electricity. Unique operating characteristics and fuel sources enable use in diverse applications, from powering electronics and sensors in extreme environments to larger scale wastewater treatment for industrial processes. IntAct Labs is pioneering the development and application of efficient microbial fuel cells.
Biosensors
Over billions of years, evolution has created proteins to perform a myriad of useful functions. IntAct Labs is exploiting recent advances in our understanding of protein structure and the basic processes of exo-cellular electron transfer to create miniature self-powered sensors for a range of applications.
