Source: Lassonde — Wasatch Microfluidics Profile

Summary

University of Utah Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute profile (2014) of Wasatch Microfluidics, describing its formation on the U campus from mechanical-engineering research and its commercialization through Lassonde programs.

Useful Claims

• The profile states Wasatch Microfluidics formed on the University of Utah campus in 2004 with founder Josh Eckman and mechanical-engineering professor Bruce Gale.
• Bruce Gale, a professor of mechanical engineering, is quoted as having originally developed Wasatch Microfluidics; Eckman developed the company with Gale in the Lassonde New Venture Development Center.
• The profile does not use the name Carterra; this capture does not mention any later rename.

Verbatim

Reliability Notes

Institutional profile, not a corporate registry record. Useful for the Utah spinout relationship independent of the company's marketing, but the article is dated 2014 and uses the Wasatch Microfluidics name throughout.
