Tailor-made nano coatings
Micro and nano technologies are an important part of COMPAMED. The Dutch company Surfix BV develops and supplies innovative tailor-made nano coatings for the micro and nanotechnology market, based on chemical surface modifications. “Our proprietary surface modification technology can even realize local and selective surface modifications, which allow complex geometries such as microfludics, lab-on-a-chip devices and biosensors made of different materials,” explains Dr. Luc Scheres, CEO at Surfix. The coating specialists have extensive expertise in the field of organic, physical and biochemical surface research, which enables them to build a “chemical bridge” between biology and physics. Surfix is involved in the BIOCDx program, which was started in January 2017 and is financed by the European Union as part of their research and innovation program. In this project, partners from four different countries work on developing a miniaturized, highly sensitive and reliable Point of Care device (PoC) with a disposable microfluid cassette to monitor cancer biomarkers. The device supports the recognition of primary tumors and metastases with a focus on breast cancer, hormone-resistant prostate cancer and melanomas. As part of the BIOCDx project, Surfix will supply the nano coatings necessary to immobilize the various biomarkers on the surface.

High-ranking participants at the DeviceMed and IVAM forums
In addition to COMPAMED’s exhibition area, two established forums will present the trends in the supplier field of medical technology: In Hall 8b, the COMPAMED SUPPLIERS FORUM (organized by the specialist magazine DeviceMed) focuses on the entire medical technology process chain. Among these are mechanical and electronic components as well as innovative materials and all sorts of made-to-order production. This year, particular focal points are Additive Manufacturing (November 12), Cyber Security (November 13), Regulatory Affairs (November 14) and Wearables (November 15). The COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM (Hall 8a) presented by the IVAM Association for Microtechnology focus on microsystem technology, nanotechnologies and production technology and process control.
COMPAMED 2018 will place in Halls 8a and 8b at the exhibition center in Düsseldorf, Germany. It is aimed primarily at technical buyers, specialists in research and development as well as packaging and production managers and construction and process engineers.
