MBP DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE

 

Miniaturization of the MBP system is planned for completion in mid 2010, followed by large animal testing, and this initial testing in large animals is expected to be completed by the end of 2011. Following is a development schedule showing the timetables for completion of miniaturization of VEGF detection and light spectrometry, the mechanical array and wireless control unit, along with in vitro and in vivo animal testing:
