Description
Micronics, Inc. is one of the leading developers of near patient in vitro diagnostic products for disease diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring. The Company employs a core patent estate in microfluidics -- the ability to miniaturize complex tests onto credit card size disposable devices. Tests that today take hours to days in a central laboratory environment are processed on a Micronics disposable device in seconds to minutes.
Products / Services
Micronics offers both stand-alone lab cards and a unique fluidic pump system with integrated, active cards. These enable researchers to develop assays, analyze fluids in flow, evaluate compounds of interest in biological samples and experiment broadly with microfluidics - all the while reducing sample and reagent usage and conserving time and money.Products available from Micronics today include the: ' microFlow' System - a low-pulse pump system that enables real time assessment of fluids in flow ' Active' Lab Cards - for use with the microFlow' System ' Access' Cards - manually activated cards for exploration of the principles of microfluidics in H-Filter and T-Sensor formats.
Technology / Differentiation
Micronics is a leader in the development of fluid miniaturization solutions that integrate and automate laboratory processes on a single, disposable, versatile and cost-effective lab card. Today, Micronics holds thirty-one issued or allowed U.S. patents on its microfluidics technologies, including those exclusively licensed from the University of Washington and additional intellectual property that it has developed independently.
