Nanolytics can do more for you than providing high end instrumentation and evaluation. We offer assistance in problem solution, developing individual concepts for your individual issues. If you wish, we will integrate your ressources into the total concept. Or we simply advise you in your decisions concerning an optimized in-house analytical concept. We are independent and competent. Trust us with your issues.

We are not trying to sell you one certain method or instrument. We do not trade instruments, implying we could provide a universal do-it-all method. Our service is to regard your individual situation, answering with the most effective, precise and significant method. Our approach is strictly scientific; our point of view is unprejudiced and unideologic. We keep an open mind.

Long description

The general manager and main owner of Plasmachem GmbH - Dr. Alexey Kalachev (author of more than 100 papers and patents) - has spent over 15 years in Academy of Science of USSR (presently Russian Academy of Science) working in above mentioned areas.

In Germany he was working since 1990 in Max-Planck-Institute of Polymer Research (Mainz), Mainz University, Institute of Micro-Technology (Mainz) and Humboldt University of Berlin. With these famous German research centers PlasmaChem GmbH supports close relationships through the several joint R&D projects.

Especially close cooperation is developed with Humboldt University of Berlin (Chair Physics of Macromolecules, Prof. J.P. Rabe), where Plasmachem has constructed additional research plasma reactors and facilities and provides measurements of modified surfaces (including nano-particles) using different surface analysis methods, first of all Scanning Probe Technique (AFM/STM/STS).

The main technology points of PlasmaChem concern to the development of processes, induced by low temperature plasma on different surfaces and in organized mono-molecular films (Langmuir-Blodgett and Self-Assembly Films) , in atomically flat inorganic solids and in liquid interfaces.

PlasmaChem is originator of several successfully performed national German (DVG) and international (BriteEuram / Brussels) projects.

Since 1998 PlasmaChem GmbH began to produce new cardio-implants (BioDiamond) of unique design, with biocompatible nano-layered DLC-coating which serves also as effective barrier against leakage of heavy metal ions (such as ions of Cr, Ni, Mo) from surgical stainless steel 316L. It is main commercial product of company at present.

The second important business line is production and sale of new industrial products - Nanopowders (NanoDiamonds, NanoCeramics, NanoMetals).
Along with manufacturing of different nano-materials, PlasmaChem provides treatment of "raw" nanopowders to elaborate ready products using own know-how. In addition, Plasmachem performs chemical and low temperature plasma modification of nanopowders with purpose of functionalization of nano-particle's surface with assistance of new plasma chemical method developed by PlasmaChem for ultra-dispersed materials. This approach gives new family of industrial nano-products with improved tailored properties.

Along with nano-materials PlasmaChem developed new stable nano-suspensions for electroplating and electroless deposition of metals. PlasmaChem took part in recently completed EC-Project "INMAN" (Brite EuRam III, Contract BRPR CT 980788) toward to manufacturing of new modified nano-particles and their application for industrial electroplating and electroless plating of metals (together with Daimler-Chrysler, SKF, Atotech). Developed knowledge is supposed for commercialization in 2004.

Te LBL-Technology (derived from the term "layer-by-layer") is a high-tech tool for making unique multifunctional nano- and micron-sized capsules which are invisible to the human eye.

For instance, the head of a pin, 1.5 mm across, could contain some three thousand million capsules. Functionally designed and custom-made, these capsules suit a variety of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical purposes which not only allow the development of a variety of advanced drug-delivery products, but can also be applied to other types of products, such as foodstuffs and food ingredients, nutraceuticals, diagnostics, biosensors, enzyme catalysts, paper, and paints. In fact, there may be no other encapsulation technology available which provides such high-end capsules.

Long description

As one of the first applications of nanotechnology in medicine, a globally new nano-cancer therapy termed thermotherapy using magnetic nanoparticles or MagForce Nanotherapy was developed at the CharitГ© - University Hospital Berlin, Germany in more than 10 years of basic research. This new approach involves direct instillation of a magnetic fluid (specifically coated magnetic nanoparticles in an aqueous dispersion) into a tumor and subsequent heating in an alternating magnetic field. This technique allows targeting of almost every part of the human body with millimeter precision and maximum tumor-cell specificity at temperatures ranging from 43-46C (hyperthermia) to 47-70Р°C (thermoablation).

The companies MFH Hyperthermiesysteme GmbH and MagForce Applications GmbH, Berlin, Germany have been working on this scientific approach since 1997 to develop ready-to-use medical products. The technology has been applied in several clinical trials at the CharitГ© Hospital Berlin and the Bundeswehrkrankenhaus Berlin since March 2003.
For a joint financial and marketing strategy a finance holding named MFH Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia GmbH, was founded in 2002. Following the successful completion of the second financial round in July 2004, Nanostart Investments AG became shareholder of this company and all three historically evolved companies were unified under the new name MagForce Nanotechnologies AG with the aim of further upgrading efficiency and growth in the international nanotechnology market.
