Dr. Schmidt is a researcher and scientist plus a leader, not just in the field of chemistry but in the sciences. He loves to stay on top of the many fields of current science and technology , which is very vital for him and he always enjoys it. He is a hands-on person, having lead small and larger teams, worked in international settings and in close cooperation with the colleagues. He does help when help is needed.

Consultations done...

A variety of clients are served with a broad mixture of topics. Such fields of advisement, help and scientific knowledge transfer range from behavior of plastics for a X-ray device to chemicals used in the printing process of modern labeling machines.

Examples of the companies advised can be found right below.

CONFIDENTIALITY: The contents of the consultation is -of course- confidential. It is  our highest goal to honor this confidentiality in the relationship with our client. The examples of our work given below will be therefore broad and not specific and not detailed.

• Vero Biotech

Dr. Schmidt has worked with this company for many years. Shortly after GeNO, which later became Vero Biotech, got started the founder, Dr. Fine, contacted the research group of Dr. Knight and Dr. Schmidt at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida. This started a long and fruitful cooperation which led in December 2019 to the FDA approval of the first completely gas tank independent, MRI-room approved Nitric Oxide (NO) delivery system.

This tiny molecule Nitric Oxide (NO) has been known to chemists for a very long time and its chemistry thought to be somewhat boring. At the end of the 1970s it was discovered the Nitric Oxide acts as an important biological messenger molecule in the body leading to the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for F. Murad, R. Furchgott and L. Ignarro.

• Irrimax

Irrimax Corporation is the leading producer of antimicrobial wound lavage. Its product Irrisept is made from sterile water for irrigation as per USP. To keep it safe from microbial growth in the sealed bottle Chlorhexidine Gluconate is added. Dr. Schmidt did studies on this mixture to support the further development of this important treatment of open wounds in hospitals and the field.

• Beyond Cancer

Another company using the tiny but enormously important molecule Nitrogen Monoxide NO.  The knowledge about the importance of this messenger molecule led to the start of research and technical development to use the Nitric Oxide as an anti-cancer drug. Dr. Schmidt supported Beyond Cancer in this development.

• OXOS Medical

Many accidents happen in moments or occasions when a clinic  is not available. OXOS has created a X-ray device that can be used at the point of need. This portable and modular device helps doctors in the field, in their office as well in hospitals. Dr. Schmidt supported their efforts to construct this medical device by consulting on materials for the shell and housing of the instrument.
