IBM just made a reported breakthrough. This small company may have the equipment to produce these particles. It is of interest to me because I worked in the chemical manufacturing area for 17 years in the 60's and 70's. <<Mr. Gruverman also extensively discussed MFIC's patented Multiple Stream Mixer-Reactor (MMR) system which functions as a continuous chemical reactor. MFIC believes that MMR technology enables a new unit operation in chemical engineering practice. The device allows chemical reactions to occur under ultraturbulent mixing conditions, with no premixing. Such operations are also known as Collision Reaction Processing. These systems can be configured for continuous production of nanoparticles. MFIC is proceeding with projects involving other companies seeking to optimize or enable drug delivery, catalysts and coatings products, as well as an internal program on nanopolymer creation for drug delivery and other applications. MFIC expects to deliver the first MMR laboratory development systems (in the $200,000-$250,000 sales price range) in 2004, with production systems (in the $750,000 - $1,000,000 plus sales price range) in late 2004 or 2005. The Company believes that it is a leader in the technology of systems for continuous production of uniform, reproducible, microparticles, nanoparticles and nanodroplets.>>nasdaq.com &consumer=NDQ&StoryTargetFrame=_top&market=OTCBB&coname=MFIC%20Corporation&symbo l=MFIC&cpath=20031201\ACQBIZ200312010833BIZWIRE_USPR_____BW5283.htm bob Posted as a reply to: Msg 14835 by juicegator
