BioForce Nanosciences, Inc. develops and commercializes nanotech instruments, consumables, and applications for the life sciences. For over a decade we've been a leading provider of consumable support products for atomic force microscopy (AFM). In 2005 we introduced our own flagship instrument platform, the Nano eNabler™ system. The Nano eNabler system is a molecular printer that rapidly and precisely delivers liquids to surfaces such as silicon chips in droplets that are ten billion times smaller than a drop of blood. This unique capability offers researchers in industry and academia a practical solution to problems they encounter when developing ultraminiaturized devices and methods, and creates opportunities for further commercialization of nanotechnology. For example, BioForce’s technology is being used to create biosensors and to study cell biology at the single cell level. Additional applications include printing proteins to guide neural cell growth, printing signaling proteins to study stem cell differentiation, “inking” of micro-stamps for soft lithography, and bio-functionalization of microfluidic devices.

DNP123 is a startup focused on solving nanotech manufacturing problems. We work with industry, government labs, and academic research groups to enable the design and assembly of novel nanotech devices. DNP123’s patent-pending core IP—DNA-patched nanocubes that self-assemble designable structures—affords a simple, standardized method of assembling almost any three-dimensional structure at nanoscale.
