Surfix’s business is based on three pillars with nanocoatings as common denominator:
Photonic biochip
- Ultrasensitive biomarker detection based on silicon nitride waveguide technology
- Material-selective surface nanocoatings further improve the sensitive and selective
detection of the analyte of interest - Nanocoatings for photonic biosensors improve the sensitivity and limit of detection
- Reduced non-specific adsorption
Microfluidics
- Nanocoatings optimize surface properties of glass and polymer microfluidics
- Control of wettability, flow properties and non-specific adsorption of biomolecules
- Nanocoatings are compatible with bonding/closing of the device
- Can be combined with biofunctionalization
Custom nanocoatings
- Broad knowledge and experience in chemical surface modification
- Understanding of application areas and portfolio of proprietary surface modification technologies
- Close collaboration to identify opportunities to improve the performance of materials and devices
- Development of custom nanocoatings, coating of devices, technology transfer and IP licensing
