TEM-smallElectron Microscopy

SiMPore produces ultrathin porous and non-porous films for transmission electron microscopy.

membrane_illustrationSeparation and Purification

The SepCon™ Spin Column device incorporates SiMPore’s nanoporous, ultrathin, silicon membrane. The SepCon™ Spin Column is a small volume insert which fits standard centrifuge tubes and can be used to quickly and precisely separate and concentrate nanoparticle and/or protein solutions.

cell_culture-smallCell Culture

SiMPore is developing a 16-well cell culture microarray format incorporating SiMPore’s nanoporous, ultrathin, silicon membrane technology. Applications range from cell co-culture studies to drug permeability and tissue engineering.

microfluidicsLab-on-a-Chip

SiMPore’s nanoporous, ultrathin, silicon membrane technology can be incorporated into low-profile electro-osmotic pumps that would move fluid in lab-on-a-chip devices eliminating the need for external pumping devices.
