# Portable Vaccine Pellets These Freeze-Dried Pellets Can Generate Vaccines When Rehydrated By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-09-23 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-vaccine References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/portable-biomolecular-manufacturing-vaccines/45581/) & [wyss.harvard.edu](http://wyss.harvard.edu/viewpressrelease/276) A group of scientists and engineers working out of [Harvard University's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-mri-machine) [Wyss Institute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braincomputer-interface) have developed an exceptionally innovative and high-tech portable vaccine kit that is designed to make it easier to make use of crucial biological molecules for the sake of drug production and vaccine development. This system makes use of specially manufactured [freeze-dried modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellular-transport) that can be combined in various ways to spawn compounds, with the only added ingredient required being regular old water. Doctors anywhere in the world can generate vaccines by simply rehydrating the compounds with water. What's great about this portable vaccine pellet system is the fact that it can easily be deployed at low cost to make vaccines available to people in far-flung areas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Vaccine Kits:** Companies can explore creating portable vaccine kits for easier access to medicine and healthcare in remote areas. - **Freeze-dried Rehydration Technology:** There is potential to bring freeze-dried rehydration technology to other industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. - **Modular Compound Technology:** Modular compound technology can pave the way for the development of other high-value applications such as antibody-based therapies for cancer. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pharmaceuticals:** Pharmaceutical companies can take advantage of freeze-dried pellets to create vaccines that are more transportable and have longer shelf-life. - **Biotech:** Biotech companies can explore modular compound technology to develop new treatments and therapies. - **Logistics:** Logistics companies can explore the possibilities of using freeze-dried pellets to transport and store goods that require rehydration. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intradermal Polio Vaccination Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polio-vaccination-initiative.md) - [Smooth Medicine Delivery Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oily-gel-for-medicine.md) - [Modernized Waste-Free Medication Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-medicine-dispenser.md) - [Wearable Drug Delivery Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-injector.md) - [Clot-Inducing Synthetic Injectables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synthetic-injectables.md) - [Revolutionary Insulin Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insulin-capsule.md) - [Pharmaceutical Shipping Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celsure-xl-vip-pallets.md) - [Biodegradable Supplement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vapsula.md) - [Cellular Transport Freeze Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellular-transport.md)
