transportation and biomedical waste disposal
Machphy Solutions Pvt Ltd, a start-up from Bhubaneswar, is developing an integrated sample storage device for safe transportation and disposal of biomedical waste – Bio-Sure C+. It is supported by National Initiative for Developing and Harnessing Innovations (NIDHI) – Seed Support System.
