Capabilities
We’ve been a manufacturer of specialty chemicals for 60 years, beginning with stains and resins for biological electron microscopy, and continuing through our current industry leadership in the synthesis of fine chemicals for medical device, biopharma, electronics and technology sectors. We invite you to view a sampling of the broad range of applications that we support.
Medical device coatings
Monomers and polymers used in the development of a variety of medical device coatings, including lubricious or anti-inflammatory coatings to improve implanted device biocompatibility, anticoagulant or other anti-fouling coatings to ensure tube and stent patency, or compound-eluting or resorbable coatings for drug delivery.
Embolics
Biodegradable embolic agents for temporary vascular occlusion in cancer treatment.
Ophthalmic-grade monomers
Monomers used to fabricate intraocular lenses for the treatment of cataracts or myopia.
Drug delivery devices
Monomers and polymers utilized to fabricate drug-eluting surgical mesh, intravaginal contraception rings, etc.
Microspheres for solid phase diagnostics
Particles coated with antigen, antibody, DNA, etc. for use in a range of at-home and POC diagnostics devices for infectious disease, pregnancy, disease biomarkers, etc.
Scaffolds for tissue engineering
Monomers and polymers for the development of scaffolds for tissue regeneration or repair, such as dental, cardiac.
Assays for nephrology research
ELISAs for biomarkers associated with kidney disease.
Transfection reagents
Cationic and lipid-based cellular transfection reagents for the development of vaccines and biotherapeutics including therapeutic proteins and cell and gene therapies.
Sensor coatings
Dielectric coatings for optical sensors in analytical instruments and high throughput sensing systems.
Calibrators for analytical instruments
Microspheres labeled with dyes, fluorophores or metals for use in calibrating analytical laboratory instrumentation including fluorescent microscopes, flow cytometers and POC diagnostic platforms.
Disinfectants & Critical Cleaning Agents
Chemicals used as or in the formulation of disinfectants and critical cleaning agents for the general laboratory, cleanrooms and dental or clinical applications.
Dyes/stains for Cytology, Histology & Hematology
Dyes and stains for microscopic examination of blood smears, tissue biopsies and features of cells of other specimens for research, clinical and veterinary medical purposes.
Personal care products
Consumer products including creams, lotions, lip balms, depilatory waxes.
Semiconductor waver polishing components
Highly (electronically) pure dispersants used in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurries for wafer polishing.
Electronic chemicals
