With over twenty-years of academic, managerial and laboratory experience, I will be able to direct the initial direction of this project to initiate a progressive formulation using a toxicity assay similar to the Ames Process (using targeted pest), microbiological techniques, enzyme assays, colorimetric and chromatographic analysis.
My expertise is in Pathology and Laboratory Health Sciences, I work with an Organic Chemist, Engineers, and Mathematicians.
I too have developed a natural "Green" pesticide for insects to protect food plants (from 2010 to 2013) and may have some ideas for guidance, I will sign a confidentiality agreement and my team will too.
We will use your recipe, but if a substitution of a "Green" product can be just as effective, then let's explore that option. An alternative, minimally toxic to non-pest substitute organic or biologically-based substance or compound would be a eco-friendly selling point.
Additional time and funds maybe required, but will be within reason to finalize your product and will require at least five to six months to have a tested first product.
We are a non-profit and are structured to search for alternative "Green" materials, so if we can deliver a prototype formulation, then more work can be completed on your product and eventually carry a "Green Certification", but to get this going full speed will take at least a year.
As always we are working for you and our promoter, so all work is confidential.
