Microfluidics sets up PureNano Group
To advance manufacturing of nanotechnology based drugs and catalysts
Microfluidics, a US-based global provider of Microfluidizer high shear fluid processors, has launched a dedicated, internal PureNano Group (PNG) to develop marketing strategies for PureNano.
Microfluidics’ PureNano processing technology is used to create tailored nanomaterials through crystallisation, chemical reaction and nano-encapsulation. Applications include nanotechnology based pharmaceuticals, functional foods and catalysts.
‘Our PureNano technology is a leap forward for materials engineering in producing the purest, most uniform nano-sized substances available anywhere,’ said Thomai Panagiotou, Microfluidics’ chief technology officer.
‘The PNG has the passion and commitment to advance PureNano's technology, process consulting, training and implementations. I am confident that we will achieve new levels of product quality and process efficiency for the pharmaceutical market, the energy industry and beyond.’
Panagiotou will head the group, which also includes: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Chemical Engineering senior faculty member Robert Fisher; PureNano engineering manager Ken Chomistek and Microfluidics global sales support manager Tom Speed.
Microfluidics says PureNano enables companies to transform their batch manufacturing efforts into continuous production processes.
