More about ourinterview with Roche.
After the visit, we decided to collaborate with Tongji_China, to purchase the enteric capsule, DRcaps, from Capsugel, a worldwide biopharmaceuticals company. This kind of capsule can protect product ingredients form stomach acid so that it can release ECHO in colon where our device is supposed to function. Visit Capsugel for more information about DRcaps.
