Silver has been recognized as one of the most antibiotic substances known in human history. While an antibiotic can kill perhaps a half-dozen of different kinds of disease organism, silver is known to kill some 650 species of bacteria or viruses.

The products we are supplying is made by highest purity(99.99%) of nanosilver powder which manufactured by physical method(electrical explosion).

Compared with conventional nanosilver products which made by colloidal silver, our products show excellent aspects in color and safety.With combined high technologies of polymer and nano-materials in various areas, were supplyingnot only nonanosilver polymer masterbatches but also new area of nanosilver related productssuch as nanosilver paint diluents, nanosilver food container, nanosilver chopping board and nanosilver hydrosol etc.

Digital Bio Technology is founded in June, 2000 by Seoul National University Ph.D.'s in the fields of medical, mechanical and electrical engineering with the founding capital of 300 million won. Our company has undergone capital increase and has established itself as a research-oriented company with a total capital of 1.2 billion won and approximately 20 researchers with advanced degrees.

Our company is currently concentrating on a system development of medical and life science, which will lead the future market. Lab-on-a-Chip(LOC), Point-of-Care(POC) and DNA chip analysis system are the main systems which are under developing with the technology of micro plastic chip fabrication and microfluidics. We have recently completed the development and commercialization of a disposable plastic LOC for dilution. And we have also produced prototype of cell counter which differentiates more than two kinds of ells as well as measures the number of cells and PT/APTT assay system which can measure condition of blood coagulation automatically. These two systems are under preparation for commercialization.

Furthermore, with the rapid commercialization of Bio Chips such as DNA/Protein chips, we have succeeded in the development and marketing of scanners(Genoscope DCR 200) necessary for such chip technologies. Also, with our superb MEMS technology as a basis, we plan to invest our resources in the development of small/portable in-vitro POC device, an area in which even technologically advanced nations stay in the quickening period. And all these efforts will lead us to the world-class bio-MEMS comapny.

In the future, Digital Bio Technology aims to develop various equipments that enable to perform many kinds of experimental and analytical processes in the laboratory of companies, universities or the medical institutions more rapidly and more economically. We will also concentrate our effort on developing advanced analysis analysis/experiment systems by combining Bio Technology and Information Technology to estabilish our company as a leader of the Bio-Infra industry and Solution tool provider.

Ceo's words:
NANO is consistently pursuing leading company in ceramic raw material powder and extrusion products. We established a mass production line for nanoscale photocatalytic powder at the end of 2001. The new low-cost processing technology was certified by Ministry of Commerce, Korea, in July 2001. In addition, the pilot-plants for WS2 solid lubricant powder and ceramic honeycomb catalyst were also successfully completed in the early of 2001 after more than 3 years of intensive R&D. We will thus complete large-scale ceramic honeycomb production line in the middle of 2002.

Based on the our initial products of photocatalytic TiO2 and WS2 lubricants, we diversify our powder products for IT ceramic parts and ET ceramic honeycomb using our raw materials. Various applications of our raw materials such as self cleaning building materials and air purifying system will be presently shown in the market. NANO's key organization is R&D center consisting of 3 teams depending on the aimed processing , i.e., Raw Materials, Extrusion and Application. Our R&D activities mainly focus on developing the new low-cost processing.

Our government also recognized the importance and they are currently promoting several major policies including R&D, facilities construction, personnel training and so forth followed by "National General Nano Technology Development Plan(July, 2001)" as well as operating "The National Program for Tera Level Nanodevices".

Nano technology R&D, however, requires inter-disciplinary working/research with otherwise subjects such as physics, chemistry and material engineering beyond the existing research practices led by individual researches on electronics or physics and it should be supported by plentiful financial investments. While the leading country of Nano technology, America supports its source technology development to the level commercial businesses may be interested in, we may address "selection and concentration" reflecting limited resources and personnel as one of late countries to develop it.

In the middle of the above situation, Nano Technology Research Association(NTRA) was established on December 12, 2001. The association sets up the following objects to facilitate the development of membership companies, to improve domestic industrial Nano technology and to strengthen international competitiveness.

Firstly, the association facilitates active participation of industries by increasing the effectiveness of the governmental Nano technology policy, structures cooperation system of industry/academy/research institute and inter-works Nano technology in various fields, creating the synergy effect.

Secondly, the association connects the capability of Nano technology accumulated by universities and research institutes with strengths of the existing industries to increase the nation's competitiveness, expanding the function and roles of the association

Nano Technology Research Institute would do our duties devotedly and ask your concerns and advices to the association.
