Functionalised gold nanoparticles

The recently formed Mintek Health Platform relies on nanotechnology-based colloidal gold products of high value, which enable the production of functionalised gold nanoparticles with "smart" capabilities. These nanoparticles offer a pathway for developing nanotechnology-based health solutions, including point-of-care diagnostic kits for detecting human and animal diseases.

Fuel cells

Catalysis finds special applications in the hydrogen economy sector by manufacturing fuel cells for various applications and catalysts for environmental applications. Through the Catalysis Group, Mintek has taken a strategic position to increase the opportunities to commercialise its fuel cell intellectual property by building capacity for fuel cell manufacturing along the entire value chain of catalysts, membrane electrode assemblies, fuel cell stacks, and fuel cell systems.

Diagnostic products (human and animal)

One such solution is the design and production of biomarkers that are critical enablers towards diagnostics and therapeutics product development and manufacture. Through these capabilities, the Mintek Health Platform is well-positioned to foster the expansion of the Diagnostics industry by manufacturing high-value diagnostic products (human and animal) and supplying the products commercially.
