Dortmund (Germany), 27th February, 2009 - The iX-factory GmbH, pioneer and specialist in the field of integrated optics and microfluidics, and cetoni GmbH, an innovative and proficient supplier of high-quality products for automation- and micro system technology, announced the start of a strategic alliance in the range of complete systems for microfluidics. Basic principles and core competences of both corporations merge perfectly together to a great twinning.
The unitised neMESYS high precision syringe pump for microfluidic applications, developed by cetoni, is precise and almost pulsation free in the range of millilitres or even nanolitres per second. Therewith it is perfectly suitable for any microfluidical application. Owing to its modularity and extensiability the system is able to adapt various requirements of diverse microfluidical applications.
The neMESYS pumps are eminently suitable for fluidical supply of customized fluidic microchips evolved by the iX-factory. The integration of both technologies allows customers to purchase one complete system as an entity. Customers´ requirements and wishes are set as foundation for all following processes. To deliver exceeding customer value, detailed and knowledge-based consultation and hence satisfied customers are the key objectives of this strategic alliance.
"Two products of extreme high quality are merged smoothly in this process. The integration of both components allows a launch of a complete system. Now we have the chance to penetrate the target microfluidics market more effectively.", states Dominique Bouwes, CEO of iX-factory GmbH. "This cooperation with iX-factory GmbH gives us the opportunity to work with measurable feedback. According to that we may learn more about the needs and requirements of our customers. In order to that we can conduct more specific studies in the nearer future to offer even more attractive range of products to our customers.", Tilo Kunze, Managing Director of cetoni GmbH, added.
