About Surnetics
Surnetics LLC is a patented technology company founded to commercialize a breakthrough platform that moves liquids through microfluidic channels without any pump, valve, or controller.
Our Mission
For decades, microfluidic systems have been held back by a fundamental constraint: moving liquids requires pumps. Pumps add cost. Pumps fail. Pumps require power and control electronics. They are the primary cost driver in portable diagnostic systems and a critical barrier to truly passive device architectures.
Surnetics was founded to change that. Our Surface Energy Gradient Coating technology removes the pump from the equation — enabling a new class of microfluidic products that are simpler, cheaper, more reliable, and deployable in environments where powered systems are impractical.
We are not building products. We are enabling partners to build better ones — through licensing, co-development, and technology partnerships anchored by a deep, active patent portfolio.
