Company portrait
Molecular Surface Engineering since 1996
PolyAn is a nanotechnology company specialized in the modification of surfaces using Molecular Surface Engineering (MSE). Since 1996 PolyAn develops and manufactures high performance consumables for multiplex diagnostics and LifeScience research.
PolyAn is certified according to DIN ISO 9001. PolyAns production facilities also include a class 7 cleanroom.
Microarrays
PolyAn is one of the leading producers of functionalized substrates for microarrays. Our wide range of surfaces, substrates and handling tools for microarrays enables our customers to easily select the most suitable substrate for their specific application.
Our product portfolio includes both functionalized glass slides as well as ultra-transparent plastic slides, coverslips, reactive membranes and 96-well microplates. Available surfaces for immobilization of biomolecules range from simple 2D-silanes, 3D-reactive nanogels and hydrogels to matrices for bio-orthogonal coupling via click-chemistry. Additionally, PolyAn is the European distributor of the nitrocellulose film slides and microarray accessories of Grace Bio-Labs.
Microparticles
PolyAn is offering a portfolio of monodisperse poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) microparticles (beads) for multiplex bead assays, calibration of flow cytometers and calibration of fluorescence imaging systems. PolyAns microparticles can be colour encoded with a wide range of fluorescent dyes and functionalized with PolyAn reactive 3D-matrices.
Functionalized microplates
PolyAn´s microplates are used for covalently immobilizing biomolecules that inefficiently coat by passive adsorption. PolyAn offers Amine binding, 3D-Azide and Streptavidin coated 96-well plates for challenging ELISA applications.
Calibration tools for fluorescence imaging systems
Re-usable calibration tools for fluorescence based detection systems. PolyAns calibration slides for cell assays can be used as quality controls in a number of IVD systems for immunology applications.
Molecular Surface Engineering Services
PolyAn is able to equip almost any substrate with our reactive matrices for selective immobilization and antifouling surfaces for the reduction of cell adhesion and unspecific binding, respectively. As part of our Molecular Surface Engineering services, we offer functionalized consumable and substrate materials for OEM applications, which are tailored to specified customer requirements.
