Capabilities |
Macias Sensors Ltd. especializes in the development of highly scalable electrochemical biodetection systems based on Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology. We have a propietary technology for the deposition of hardened metal films that prevent the corrosion of the PCB copper underplate during electrochemical experiments. Furthermore, we can adapt this technology to fabricate porous metal coatings or conformally coat the inside of nanoporous anodic alumina films. |
