Our Capabilities

ISurTec has multifunctional laboratory space dedicated to research, as well as separate manufacturing facilities for our products. In our research labs, we can take an idea from a mere concept to a pilot scale product including synthesis of new chemicals, development of coating technology, and further with testing of coatings at a biological interface such as cells, bacteria, or tissue.

Explore Our Labs

Biology

ISurTec has a team of experienced scientists who perform routine cell culture and molecular biology experiments. We have a dedicated cell culture facility consisting of a laminar biosafety cabinet level II and two dedicated temperature-controlled cell culture incubators connected to carbon dioxide tanks which provide an optimum environment for growing cells.

Chemical Synthesis

At ISurTec, we have a fully functional wet lab for small molecule and polymer synthesis. We design our own synthetic routes and perform reactions on a bench scale. In-house, we have GPC, FTIR, and UV/fluorescence spectrophotometry for characterization, as well as access to the nearby University of Minnesota facilities. We specialize in photoreactive small molecules and polymers.

Coating Capabilities

At ISurTec we have a flexible and versatile coating suite. With our in-depth knowledge of process design and coating engineering, we can tailor our coating methods to meet your expectations. In-house we have linear motion machines, including dip and spray application, multiple light sources (UVA, UVB, and UVC), and measuring equipment to standardize each step.

Electrospinning

ISurTec has in-house electrospinning apparatus that fabricate nano– to microfibrillar membranes and scaffolds. Electrospinning is a manufacturing technique that produces polymer fibers for tissue engineering and membrane production. The fibers can be produced from synthetic and natural polymers in diameter ranges from nano to micro-scale. ISurTec develops aligned and randomly oriented, non-woven electrospun membranes for in-house research including drug development scaffolds and photo-reactive nanofibers.

ISurTec is a technology innovator with a deep passion for identifying, creating and commercializing new methods and products that enable companies to fulfill their mission.
