Medical Coatings

	LubriLAST™ LubriLAST™ is a patented lubricious hydrophilic coating. It eliminates surface friction when exposed to water or body fluid.		pHreeCOAT™ pHreeCOAT™ is a new patent-pending anti-encrustation coating. It prevents mineral deposition on indwelling medical devices by modulating surface pH and chemistry.
	RepelaCOAT™ RepelaCOAT™ is an anti-microbial medical device coating with a patent-pending ion-exchange release mechanism. RepelaCOAT™ allows the customization of release pattern to exhibit a controlled initial “peak release” followed by a sustained release of anti-microbial agents.		HydroLAST™ HydroLAST™ is a patented coating that improves the wettability and wicking of porous polymeric materials. It produces a stable sub-micron coating that makes a hydrophobic substrate permanently hydrophilic.
	HemoLAST™ HemoLAST™ is an anti-thrombogenic coating formulated on the LubriLAST™ water-based platform. It contains both releasable and covalently bonded antithrombogenic agents to provide short and long-term protection against thrombus formation.		ParyLAST™ ParyLAST™ is a patented process that enhances parylene deposition with plasma activation. Such all in one process creates a parylene coating with maximized performance, lifetime resistance to delamination, and minimized component failure due to liquid propagation into the coating/substrate interface.
	LubriMATRIX™ LubriMATRIX™ is a novel and innovative lubricious hydrophilic coating specifically developed to enable a safer, simpler and more effective intraocular lens (IOL) delivery. It is designed to provide the new standard for current and the next generation IOL injection systems.

Contact Angle

	VCA Optima VCA Optima is a compact, user-friendly tool for measuring Contact Angle/ Surface Energy. The VCA Optima utilizes a precision camera and advanced PC technology to capture static or dynamic images of the droplet and determine tangent lines for the basis of contact angle measurement.		VCA 3000S VCA 3000s Wafer Surface Analysis Systems are specially designed for use in semiconductor wafer processing quality control. The system provides quick and accurate contact angle/surface energy analysis on wafer surface to evaluate adhesion, cleanliness and coatings.
	VCA Accessories The VCA Optima series incorporates lightweight design, easy assembly, and the latest Windows™ standards and user-friendly software to create a contact angle instrument that is accurate and easy to use.

Plasma

	Mini PJ The Mini PJ is a compact, user-friendly, out of the box ready Plasma System that is designed and built to simplify plasma treatment for labs that need plasma on a smaller budget. This plasma unit is factory set and optimized for your application with push button control, eliminating the need for a PC interface. The pump is internal, creating a small system footprint minimizing lab bench space.		PJ PS 350 is a Production Plasma System that provides complete organic contamination removal without wet chemical problems. Built for the rigor of daily manufacturing use, the PS 350 is designed with durability, performance, and efficiency in mind; using only the highest quality components.
	PS 350 The PJ Plasma Surface Treatment System is a compact, user-friendly tool with all the functionality of our large batch gas plasma systems. Designed for both laboratory and production use, the PJ is versatile and can be used for a variety of plasma-based processes, including cross-linking and cleaning organic or inorganic contamination from various substrates such as metals, ceramics, glass, and silicon. It is also ideal for improving lubricity, wettability, and bond strength.
