Nanotechnology Companies in United Kingdom (UK)

World-Scale Challenges. Nano-scale Solutions. Advanced Material Development believes that the rapid advancement of applied material science is a critical route for helping solve some of the World's biggest environmental and societal challenges. AMD is a commercial enterprise that funds programmes of development and related research in materials nanotechnology which are judged to offer practicable, effective routes to licensed technology and know-how which in turn can be taken profitably to market through a variety of commercial arrangements. AMD aims to advance this materials research to commercial success and beyond and to continue delivering a funding pipeline to the best university departments in the UK. AMD’s initial partnership with the University of Sussex Material Physics department will focus on 3-4 projects developing viable applications for many global challenges including packaging and food waste, transportation, healthcare and anti-counterfeiting. Professor Alan Dalton and his twenty strong team at the University of Sussex, is at the forefront of international efforts to understand and explore the fundamental nature and attributes of ‘two-dimensional’ nanomaterials such as graphene, and thereby provide some of the bridges to the multiplicity of potentially beneficial applications with far-reaching implications for the human challenges of global sustainability.

Aqdot is a Cambridge (UK)-based supramolecular chemistry company with a focus and expertise in developing, licensing and selling novel proprietary products. The Aqdot Solutions part of the business works in partnership with customers to understand their challenges and develop solutions utilising the unique AqBit technology. This has the team working in areas from air filtering in transportation to delivery of therapeutics for cancer. In parallel the Aqdot Products part of the company has recently launched its own brands AqStar™ M1 and Oderase to date. Again, working with partners either on a distribution basis, or offering the opportunity to “white label” or develop a market specific formulation.

We develop diagnostics that are fast, accurate and can be used at the point of care: ensuring the first prescription, is always the right prescription. Our technologies answer 2 vital questions to ensure effective and sustainable use of antibiotics: Does the patient have an infection treatable with antibiotics? NANOPLEX® is an advanced latex agglutination test that can be used to rapidly identify and quantify the cause of infection in 5 minutes. What will be the most effective antibiotic treatment? SCFI™ is a phenotypic, real-time and growth-free antibiotic susceptibility test that determines the most effective antibiotic in 30 minutes.

LIG Nanowise is a Manchester based scientific instruments company founded in 2014, developing world leading product offerings in microscopy and nanopatterning. We apply microsphere lens technology to diverse applications from imaging to industrial manufacturing. Microspheres will become a super material at the heart of some of the most important innovations in the optics space. We developed the world’s most powerful brightfield microscope; the NANORO M, which can achieve 50 nm resolutions purely through glass and light. This utilises SMAL (Super-resolution Microsphere Amplifying Lens) technology to provide new insights into nanostructures - non-destructively, in full colour, rapidly and with no sample preparation. This has major applications in materials science research, microelectronics and 2D materials imaging. We launched this product in June 2017 through our imaging brand NANORO to international media aclaim. We are also developing a best in class particle lens array that can produce nanoscale patterns rapidly and repeatably with high precision over a wide area, with applications in microfluidics, semiconductors and bank note security.

See protein, DNA and RNA molecules that make life work, in nanoparticles, viruses, bacteria, cells and tissue. We believe that understanding science at a molecular level will fundamentally allow you to unlock new discoveries, so we created our flagship product, The Nanoimager. We built the world's first desktop compatible compact super-resolution microscope, but we did it our way. Our teams have a restless enthusiasm to bring technologies like super-resolution to a new community of researchers and we continue working until barriers of accessibility and affordability are addressed. Our mission is to ensure research and collaboration tools are available to those willing to ask why or how things are the way they are and answer questions never asked before. We can’t wait to see and hear about what new questions you will ask!

Headquartered in Cambridge, UK and with its manufacturing base in Korea, planarTECH aims to enable graphene, carbon nanotube (CNT), and 2D material applications development by providing researchers worldwide with high-quality equipment for materials synthesis and characterization. In addition to its core competency in 2D materials, planarTECH also has years of experience in manufacturing high-quality vacuum systems and components. With a global network of researchers at leading institutions in Asia, the US and Europe, planarTECH has assembled the process know-how to assist customers in starting their research program as quickly as possible.

Our innovative video-rate scanning probe microscope images cm2 areas with nanometre resolution and can track dynamic processes in real time. The product of 10 years of intensive development, our technology is fundamentally different from traditional atomic force microscopes but produces images and data with similar resolution and accuracy to the best competing high-speed AFMs in only a 1,000th of the time! Creative researchers are already using our instruments to carry out analyses that were previously thought impossible across diverse fields from genomics to 2D materials, batteries and semiconductors. We continue to develop new technologies and will be launching a scanning probe (patent pending) version of our microscope soon for semiconductor wafer measurements. Contact us for more details and a demonstration on your own samples.

KSG Health Ltd are the sole UK importer and distributor of Genano® air purification devices. Genano Ltd is a Finnish manufacturer of Genano units. Genano technology® is used worldwide, where clean air is needed, for example in hospitals, laboratories, industrial complexes and buildings suffering from so-called sick building syndrome.

Nanoplexus® was founded in late 2019 with the aim of delivering scalable and cost-effective material platforms for a more sustainable future. We are driven by a diverse experience in advanced manufacturing techniques and material synthesis that allows us to apply materials into more demanding environments.

Our goal is to enable the analysis of anything, anywhere, by anyone. We have developed the world’s first and only nanopore DNA and RNA sequencing platform. It’s a new generation of sequencing technology — the only one to offer: scalability to portable or ultra-high throughput formats, real-time data delivery, and the ability to elucidate rich biological data. We are aiming to disrupt the way that biological analyses are currently performed, and open up new applications that have a profound, positive impact on society. Our devices offer real-time analysis, for rapid insights, in fully scalable formats — from pocket to population scale — and the technology is being used in more than 100 countries worldwide. Founded in 2005 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford, the company now employs more than 600 people from multiple disciplines including nanopore science, molecular biology and applications, informatics, engineering, electronics, manufacturing and commercialisation. The management team, led by CEO Dr Gordon Sanghera, has a track record of delivering disruptive technologies to the market.
