After six years at the Virginia Biotechnology Research Park in downtown Richmond, Cupron is moving into a larger space near Richmond International Airport in eastern Henrico County.
The biotechnology company, a startup that developed after finding a way to infuse copper oxide into soft materials such as hospital gowns and linens, said the move would allow for an expansion with more office space and an 11,000-square-foot warehouse.
Cupron recently participated in a 10-month clinical trial at Sentara’s Leigh Hospital in Norfolk with results recently published showing the effectiveness of the copper-infused products in reducing the spread of bacteria in a clinical setting.
