Controlling Flow with Coatings – No Pumps or Controllers Needed

Coatings That Replace Hardware

Surnetics develops coatings for improved fluid delivery, transfer, and analysis in precision medicine and point-of-care diagnostic devices.  We offer a unique advantage to all developers of microfluidic products – our coatings can be used in place of expensive pumps and controllers.

Surnetics’ patented surface energy gradient coatings create a surface that can propel a liquid through channels without any pumps or hardware.  Our coatings can be used to create flow channels with different flow rates – all on a single layer of your product.

What if your device could …….

1. Move liquids through channels without pumps or wicking strips?
2. Prevent liquids from entering channels or leaking without valves?
3. Have controlled, multiple liquid flow rates all on the same level?
4. Be half the size and half the cost?

We have the technology solutions to get your product to market faster. Surnetics technology enables passive flow and analysis of liquids, reducing the required needs and costs of pumps, controllers, and other hardware while improving product consistency and predictability. 

Surnetics’ coatings let you

1. Precisely control liquid flows without pumps and valves
2. Tailor surface chemistry to match your application
3. Reduce your system hardware costs
4. Simplify your product design
5. Reduce variability in testing
6. Reduce variability in manufacturing
