At Midatech we design and manufacture nanoparticles for therapeutics, diagnostics and coatings for devices including microchips.

Our biocompatible nanocells are manufactured through a one-step current Good Manufacturing Practise (cGMP) process in which the nanocells self-assemble.

Our nanocells have properties that make them ideal as drug delivery vehicles:

* They are water soluble and can be designed to either diffuse freely in vivo, or to target specific cells.
* A class of our nanocells have been shown to cross the Blood Brain Barrier.
* With a diameter of less than 5nm, unbound nanoparticles are freely excreted from the kidneys, reducing the likelihood of non-specific in vivo accumulation.
* Multiple ligands can be attached to a single nanoparticle, so multivalent drug delivery or receptor binding is possible, as well as heterogeneous ligand delivery.

The unique properties of Midatech's diverse nanocells create endless possibilities for healthcare and other industries.
