Hackuarium
Association
A community of passionate individuals working in a non-institutional, open and fully equipped laboratory part of UniverCity, a vibrant ecosystem including also a Coworking space, a Makerspace, and a Hackerspace.
Founded in August 2014 and growing steadily since, Hackuarium is now the home of 40+ people working part-time on a variety of projects ranging from Antarctica exploration to bioelectronic sensors for water pollutants and, of course beer DNA.
SwissDeCode
Company
Remember the Brazil meat scandal? What if every consignment could have been tested? Few adulterations can destroy brands, profits and careers. QC labs cannot cope with the faster cycles of the factory.
SwissDeCode transformed a 7 days long laboratory test into a "Food Safety and Compliance Box" that gives Y/N answers in 30 minutes. DNAFoil fits ongoing processes and secures operations and transactions around meat, seafood, and agro supply chains.
