March 27, 2008 — BioForce Nanosciences Holdings Inc., a producer of integrated biological and mechanical systems for life science researchers at the micro and nano scales, is launching a Surface Patterning Service using its Nano eNabler and Nano eNabler CB molecular printers.

These molecular printers provide researchers with the capability to print tiny domains of biological materials on surfaces with nanometer spatial precision. The Surface Patterning Service will allow researchers to outsource their molecular printing needs to BioForce. Popular applications of these patterned surfaces include tissue engineering, stem-cell research, and ultra-sensitive biomarker assays.

Kerry Frey, president and CEO of BioForce Nanosciences, says, “This service will target customers with a need for patterned surfaces but who have limited budgets. BioForce will use our Nano eNabler molecular printer to produce surfaces onto which proteins and nucleic acids have been deposited based upon a customer-defined pattern. As this custom service matures, BioForce expects to develop a standard catalog of the most frequently requested biomolecular patterns.”
