SInce 2011 functioning as a wholly owned subsiduary of Sony, Micronics, Inc. addresses near patient, point of care devices for disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and blood testing. A learly eader in development of fluid miniaturization solutions that integrate and automate laboratory processes on single use, disposable, versatile and cost-effective cartridges. integral to these solutions are Micronicsâ core capabilities in microfluidics, surface chemistries, materials science and assay integration. The firm offered diagnostic products, including PanNAT Molecular Diagnostic System for infectious disease testing; and Immunohematology Diagnostic products that provide rapid tests for point of information blood typing. The company's immunohematology diagnostic products include ABORhCard that is developed to provide ABO and Rh blood type from a fingerstick blood sample; and ABO-Cross Match Card, a sample-to-result test developed to provide information about ABO compatibility between a transfusion recipient and a donor blood unit. It also provides research and development (R&D) products, including single-use, stand alone, and disposable microfluidics-enabled cartridges and microFlow integrated workstations. The company's R&D products include microFlow system, a low-pulse pump system that enables precise control of fluids in flow; Active Lab Cards for use with the microFlow system; and Access cards, a manually activated cards for the exploration of the principles of microfluidics in H-Filter and T-Sensor formats. Its R&D products enable researchers to develop assays, analyze fluids in flow, the evaluate compounds of interest in biological samples, and experiment broadly with microfluidics. In addition, the company offers custom design and development services, including prototype to commercial development of stand-alone disposable cartridges and integrated cartridge/instrument systems. It offers devices for sample preparation, antigen/antibody detection, DNA/RNA amplification, amplification-based detection of respiratory disease, and fluorescent and bead-based assays for soil and air sample analysis.
