Molecular Surface Engineering – Functionalized consumables for LifeScience
PolyAn is a nanotechnology company specialized in the functionalization of surfaces using Molecular Surface Engineering (MSE). Since 1996 PolyAn develops and manufactures consumables for multiplex diagnostics and life science research. PolyAn’s production and R&D laboratories are located at its new Berlin site, which was opened in September 2021.
We are a team with different backgrounds ranging from chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, and engineering with multiple decades of experience in surface functionalization. We constantly strive to expand the range of our capabilities and develop new and better performing surfaces. Being based in Berlin, we take advantage of the regional ecosystem of excellent research institutes & universities through co-operations and joint research projects.
PolyAn Milestones
PolyAn was founded in 1996 by scientists and engineers of the Humboldt-University of Berlin, the Fraunhofer Institute, and the GKSS Institute Geesthacht (now Helmholtz Zentrum Hereon). The idea behind PolyAn was the commercialization of an expertise in surface modification technologies.
We are proud to have achieved several important Company Milestones since 1996. Today, PolyAn is an established producer of functionalized consumables for life science research, diagnostics, biotech and pharma applications. Our customers are served directly and via our world-wide network of specialized distributors.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is a core element of our operations. As a responsible company in the chemical industry, we power our facilities with 100% electricity from renewable sources and generate additional clean energy through solar panels installed on our company building. To further reduce emissions and improve efficiency, we use district heating for our energy supply. We also support sustainable mobility by providing on-site charging stations for electric vehicles, encouraging environmentally friendly commuting for our employees.
Through these measures, we actively reduce our environmental footprint and demonstrate that high-performance chemical operations and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
