Nanoly Chemical Protector for Vaccines

Currently in development, the Nanoly Chemical Protector for Vaccines is a nano-particle based chemical shield that allows vaccines to survive without refrigeration so that they can be safely distributed in off-grid communities.

Nanoly is developing a polymer that may be blended with any protein-based vaccine at any point in the vaccine delivery chain. The solution is composed of non-toxic nanoparticles that are custom synthesized for each vaccine. When the vaccine is combined with the polymer, vaccine spoilage is prevented without the need for refrigeration. Nanoly's solution is designed to eliminate the difficulties associated with vaccine transportation and delivery.

The vaccine “cold chain” is the system of transporting and storing vaccines within the temperature range of 35°F (2°C) to 45°F (8°C) (US Department of Health and Human Services). If exposed to temperatures too high or too low, vaccines will denature and become inactive. This strict vaccine refrigeration requirement contributes to the over 25% liquid vaccine wastage rate estimated by the World Health Organization. The process also hinders the delivery of vaccines to remote areas of the world where there is no electricity to operate refrigerators.
