MISSION

Surnetics’ mission is to develop gradient coating technology as the platform technology for controlling liquid flows in all microfluidic products.

Surnetics wants to be your commercialization partner for getting your product to the market. We partner with our customers to develop surface science-based solutions to their fluid transport and analysis problems.

Our technology will enable the commercialization of high volume microfluidic products by delivering a technology platform for managing fluid flows within the product.  Our solution for controlling fluid flows without pumps reduces system costs by 80% or more in cartridge-reader systems.  For handheld, point-of-care systems or analytical field testing, our technology for passive fluid control without pumps will be necessary to produce low-cost products that can perform multiple tests on a sample.

Our technology will be necessary as medical devices get smaller, and heat, pressure, and material limitations prevent them from achieving optimal performance.   Passive flow, or even reduced power flow, lets designers continue to shrink their devices without sacrificing operating life and performance.  Plus, a lot less equipment and wires to worry about in your system.
