Epigem Limited - Microfluidic Processing Systems - About Us

 Pharmaceutical Products & Services

Epigem Limited – The Company

Epigem was established in 1995, following a management buy-out from ICI Materials by a group of chemists, engineers and physicists with 15 years experience at the leading edge of polymer product development. In 1999 we moved to a purpose-built R&D and clean room manufacturing facility with key processes operated under class 100 conditions. Epigem offers a full spectrum of specialist expertise from R&D to product manufacture and operates in a global market with a growing list of customers in Europe, the USA and the Far East.

Our Products

We manufacture a range of micro-fluid components, specialty flexible circuit boards, polymer waveguide components, microlens arrays, diffraction gratings, diffraction lenses and computer generated holograms. Where necessary Epigem invents new solutions to the opportunities presented by our customers. All our products are backed up by an ongoing research and development programme.

Microfluidics

In support of the evolving market for microfluidic devices, Fluence offers products and services aimed at providing solutions to a variety of needs.

The Fluence Microfluidic Tool Kit provides a powerful ‘starter pack’ for those experimentalists wanting to explore the advantages offered by microfluidics, whilst also acting as an effective decision making tool for product and process developers working on microchemical and microbiological applications.

A Special Microfluidic Products capability is available to address the broadening requirements of new microfluidic devices, and is based on a very high standard of prototyping and product development services. We design and develop integrated microfluidic solutions, where functional modules such as temperature control, electrodes and sensor technology are increasingly important. Working closely with our clients often results in initial prototype devices being taken right through to high volume manufactured product.

Other Services involve the support necessary in building practical microfluidic processing systems that generally require more than microfluidic chips alone. Services include technology integration, consulting and assistance regarding automated fluid control systems.
