Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01320, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Murphy, Graham (University of Waterloo), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Plus Grants for universities, program name french : Subvention d'engagement partenarial Plus pour les universités, program purpose english : Isowater is currently in the research and development phase of expanding their line of isotope-enriched_x000D_
compounds. Isowater is currently the only large-scale, worldwide provider of enriched deuterium oxide for the_x000D_
Life Sciences, High Technology and Environmental Science applications (eg. non-nuclear). Customers in some_x000D_
of these applications are requesting deuterated versions of commonly used chemical feedstocks for use in_x000D_
numerous applications, such as in the pharmaceutical and electronics industries._x000D_
Isowater is currently purchasing their deuterated chemical feedstocks, and converting these into value-added_x000D_
commercial compounds. They lack the chemical expertise and facility to develop and evaluate their own_x000D_
synthesis of these deuterated chemicals, and also the facility to develop the necessary analytical tools for_x000D_
determining the isotopic purity of the compounds synthesized._x000D_
By continuing their collaboration with the Murphy laboratory, they will gain access to the required personnel,_x000D_
expertise, facilities and equipment necessary to undertake this next step in fundamental research. The Murphy_x000D_
lab will use their expertise in chemical synthesis to develop a scaleable and reproducible synthesis of the_x000D_
deuterated chemical feedstocks, and transfer this new technology to Isowater., program purpose french : Isowater is currently in the research and development phase of expanding their line of isotope-enriched_x000D_
