Seashell Technology LLC is a nanotechnology company that develops nanocomposite materials and novel metamaterials, specifically plasmon resonant particles used for optically observable biological labels and other applications. The team at Seashell Technology manufactures a wide range of multifunctional particles with nanoscale precision for a variety of applications. Custom particles are produced in which the particle's magnetic, fluorescent, optical scattering, density, porosity, chemical composition, geometric shape, and surface functionality can be individually adjusted in order to suit a particular application. Seashell Technology has developed specialized particles that act as transport vehicles for high efficiency delivery of DNA and siRNA to target cells and tissues. The firm specializes in large-scale production of silver nanowires for use in the electronics industry. Custom particles are produced where each component imparts a specific functionality to the particle. Building upon these core materials and competencies Seashell Technology has developed specialized particles as transport vehicles for high efficiency delivery of DNA and siRNA to target cells and tissues. Seashell Technology has ongoing projects with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), divisions of the Department of Defense (DOD), universities, and public institutions. The firms products and services provide industrial, academic, and government researchers access to a wide variety of tools that will have an immediate impact on the success of their scientific investigations. Seashell Technology is pleased to supply custom or stock nanocomposite materials for particular applications, work collaboratively to develop Value Added improvements to new and existing technologies and products, license technologies developed in-house, partner with outside companies for distribution, or distribute product directly to the consumer. Seashell recently announced the acquisition of the silver nanowire product line by BASF.
