Long description

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.

Long description

P2i Ltd was established in 2004 as part of the UK Ministry of Defence’s programme of commercialisation of government technologies.

P2i Ltd was the first commercial spin-out for Dstl and relocated to Milton Park in Oxfordshire in January 2006.

Our plasma enhancement technology stemmed from over six years of R&D and in-field use of ensuring lighter and more effective millitary protective clothing against chemical attack.

Ion-mask™ enhancement provided the answer, treating entire garments so that even zips were made highly liquid repellent. The breakthrough opened the door to potentially limitless applications.

P2i has exclusive access to commercialising the ion-mask™ technology and is now commercialising it for the medical, biosciences, electronics, textile and automotive & aerospace markets.

Long description

The P2i plasma enhancement process has numerous applications in the medical, pharmaceutical and biosciences market.

P2i is carrying out plasma enhancement on a number of filters and porous media, including plastics, metals and ceramics. The liquid repellent properties imparted demonstrate a range of features such as low liquid retention, maximum sample recovery and non-binding. Porous media can also be rendered highly repellent to allow greater yields of filtered products.
Typical applications

* Pipettes
* Stents
* Microplates
* Filters
* Porous media
* Micro-fluidic devices
* Plastic consumables
* Metal components
* Ceramics parts
