Our current products include the MFCS series of microfluidic flow control systems, based on the proprietary FASTAB™ technology. Fundamental studies in micro or nano hydrodynamics, nanoliter dispensing, fast mixing, bioassays, hybridization arrays, lab-on-chip electrophoresis, micro-TAS, perfusion and accurate control of cells environment, flow cytometry, combinatorial chemistry, diagnosis, are a few examples of applications in which MFCS can make your life much easier, and open unbounded routes to your imagination.

Fluigent will also introduce soon on the market innovative matrices for capillary electrophoretic detection of unknown mutations. Based on the proprietary EMMA™ technology, validated at Curie Institute's hospital for the detection of mutations. These matrices are compatible with most existing capillary DNA sequencers, and allow unprecedented sensitivity, throughput and cost effectiveness.

Fluigent, a spinoff of Curie Institute and CNRS, owns or licences a portfolio of issued or pending patents belonging to 7 families, and covering its core technologies in flow control, microfluidic devices, polymers, colloids and analytical methods. Our customers include academic and industrial research laboratories in physics, chemistry, biology, and clinical diagnostic centers. The company's products are sold directly from our Paris headquarters, and will be soon available through distributors worldwide. We also propose OEM products and customized development of building blocks or complete solutions based on our proprietary technologies, for the pharmaceutical and diagnosis industry.

WHAT IS NANOELECTRONICS?

Microelectronics has changed our world drastically: computers, mobile phones, digital television, DVD players, car navigation and security features, medical screening and health care equipment have all become essential parts of our everyday lives. Nanoelectronics is just the next evolutionary step, as the number of transistors that can be integrated on a single chip reaches one billion, but it indeed represents a revolution marking a dramatic step forward.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM IT?

Products with totally new capabilities will become available for general use, dreams such as intelligent cars, non-invasive health monitoring and disease prevention, homes sensitive and responsive to the needs of the persons living in it will become available to everybody., We will get better control of our health and environment, and over the quality of our food and our air, we will be able to recognise diseases even before symptoms appear, and we will be able to be fully mobile and at the same stay constantly in touch with everybody.

WHY ENIAC?

Such developments will require completely new architectural approaches to deal with the ever increasing levels of complexity required. If the primary knowledge needed for innovation, that is the development of the enabling technology for Nanoelectronics, will be built up and retained in Europe, this will result in enormous benefits to national and regional economies of the EU Member and Associated States, in terms of industrial competitiveness, employment and the resulting general wellbeing of citizens.

A fundamental condition for such knowledge-based European leadership is co-operation and interaction between all key players: European research centres, major producers of semiconductors, materials, equipment and applications, high technology small and medium-sized enterprises, national and regional authorities, universities and financial institutions.

The European Technology Platform on Nanoelectronics and its governing structure European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council (ENIAC) have the mission to bring together all these leading players to develop and implement a coherent European vision, making the best use of European talent and infrastructures to ensure European leadership in shaping our future.

The Materials and Processes Simulations platform is Scienomics' premier software platform for carrying out materials modeling and simulations. Developed by Scienomics software engineers, MAPS provides a flexible, industrial strength framework for accessing both proprietary and open-source simulation codes. MAPS serves as an integration tool for all modeling related tasks and data and offers a multi-user/multi-project modeling environment complete with data management on all major operating systems.

MAPS is the first multi-user/multi-project platform for molecular and process modeling. MAPS allows you to use what simulation codes you judge the best for your R&D workflow. Any molecular simulations codes you use can easily be integrated within the MAPS platform. MAPS also offers you all the standard builders and visualization tools you need. Accordingly, you do not have to abandon the tools that you have become accustomed to in your work, you simply can access them through a common work environment and accelerate your work. In addition, the MAPS modeling environment offers you the possibility to integrate at any time any simulation code you need. This is possible due to the APIs available in MAPS which enable you to create interfaces and access model information easily.

Cosmetological and dermatological research is the focal point of L'Oréal's development strategy, and is one of the keys to its success. The ever-improving effectiveness and quality of L'Oréal products are based on innovation, which has been nurtured since chemist EugГЁne Schueller founded the Group in 1907.

Overcoming aging of the skin, controlling the sun's rays or giving fresh color to gray hair those are some of the major challenges in the scientific adventure L'Oréal undertook nearly a century ago. The Group devotes about 3% of its turnover to research.

Our strategic budget encourages creativeness: more than 3,000 new formulas emerge from our laboratories every year. L'Oréal is the world leader among companies applying for patents in the cosmetics field, filing a patent application just about every day.

Long description

Nanobiotix currently develops NanoBiodrugs which are precisely targeting abnormal cells and destroying them through the controlled generation of physical or chemical reactions triggered by external activation. Nanobiodrugs are composed of two parts:

* an inorganic core which, through activation(for example the application of an external field such as MRI) will cause the destruction of the targeted cells and
* a targeting molecule which will guide the Nanobiodrug to the target.

This unique mode of action explains the accuracy of the therapeutic activity and the expected excellent tolerance. Furthermore, because the activity is triggered externally, this implies a total control of the activity of the NanoBioDrugs.

So far Nanobiotix has demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo both the accuracy of the targeting and the tolerance of the NanoBiodrugs currently under development. In vitro experiments have validated the concept of cell destruction through external activation and the absolute control of this process, with the emergence of an activation time-cell destruction function. Promising large animal studies on various cancer models and different compounds are currently under way.

Historically, Nanobiotix has developed a very tight partnership with the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, NY where its founders initiated the development of this innovative technology within the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics. This has allowed Nanobiotix to capitalize on the extensive knowledge on nanoparticles developed in the SUNY in Buffalo, NY and to benefit from its state-of-the-art facilities.

Currently Nanobiotix holds the rights and patents on different nanobiodrug families (MRI, Laser, and Ultra sound activated) and is actively broadening its portfolio of patents which will allow the development of different types of particles, activated in different ways, to explore new indications in the field of cancer.

Delivering optimum service to our customers and watching the market closely are among the driving forces that inspire our Research and Development teams. These people work daily with marketing and sales personnel to develop processes to increase the performance of existing products, and make production, transportation, and application even safer.
This policy is reflected in our clear commitment to constantly improve the reliability and competitiveness of our processes. This may mean, for example, cutting down on production stages in order to focus quickly on the molecule or the product in question.
Our most advanced research relates to the nanostructuring of polymers (molecular structures on a nano-scale, the nanometer being one billionth of a meter). Arkema holds a crucial position in the field of new materials through its command of original polymerization techniques (ionic or radical polymerization) which ensure controlled polymer chain growth.
