Sono-Tek has seen an increase in coatings onto increasingly small and precise medical diagnostic equipment recently. Biosensors, microarray lab-on-chip devices, point-of-care diagnostic testing kits, blood glucose monitors, and molecular/protein diagnostic kits are some of the applications we see expanding recently. Coatings applied may be active layer conducting materials, or hydrophilic and hydrophobic biopolymers, and may…

Recent trends in medical device coatings continue to point toward an increase in the need for coating implants and surgical devices to prevent biofilm formation and staph or other hospital-acquired infections. As this trend continues, it seems likely that future regulatory requirements will further the application of these types of coatings even more. That’s where…
