about us
NanoPhoenix develops micro and nanostructured devices and surfaces for cell biology studies, biosensors, and Labs-on-chips in the diagnostic and therapeutic fields, supporting the customer all the way from design to large-scale production:
Substrates for
cell cultures
Micro and nanostructured surfaces reproducing the extracellular matrix physiological environment and surface topography, provided with an enhanced active surface that improves the efficiency of cell cohesion, proliferation, and differentiation.
Applications: cell morphology analysis, biomechanical analysis, co-culture development, standardization of cell cultures, organs-on-chips, etc.
Customization:

(from 70 nm to 500 μm)Materials
(e.g. PDMS, polystyrene, titanium, gold)Geometry
(e.g. pillars, lines, holes)On demand
Microfluidic devices
and Labs-on-chips
Highly productive fluidic devices in different hydrophilic and non-absorbent materials with plug&play configuration.
Applications: analysis of biological fluids in the therapeutic and diagnostic fields such as liquid biopsy.
Customization:
Size

Know-how
Thanks to a multidisciplinary team, we boast a broad and solid know-how in micro and nanofabrication processes, in the design and implementation of microfluidic systems, and in the development of biosensor platforms for the public and private sector, both at national and international scope.
Micro and
nanofabrication
Expertise in the use of Pulsed-NIL, an evolution of Nanoimprint Lithography. Pulsed-NIL is a fast, simple, versatile, and accurate manufacturing technology.
Electrochemistry
(biosensors)
Expertise in the development of sensor platforms with EIS (Electrochemical Impedence Spectroscopy) and electrochemical transduction scheme coupled with high-performance micro and nanoelectrode arrays (MEA and NEA) to detect therapeutic molecules.
Microfluidics
-
Expertise in the development of manageable microfluidic circuits (witching, mixing, dispensing), with high-precision control of fluids, and labs-on-chips, devices that integrate multiple laboratory functions in a single chip for diagnostic and agri-food applications.
Tissue engineering
ongoing
We are strengthening our expertise in the development of biocompatible micro and nanostructured surfaces aimed at studying biological processes such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and interactions.
