Flamac, a Division of SIM
Overview
At Flamac we have developed unique high-throughput platforms to accelerate materials R&D. These include accelerated synthesis, formulation, application and characterisation techniques. Flamac offers its service in either collaborative, multi-disciplinary research between industry, universities and research centres or contract research.
We combine our competences in high-throughput experimentation with a thorough understanding of our customers’ needs, across a variety of application areas and industries.
This enables both large corporations and small & medium sized companies to stimulate new product and process development and to shorten their time-to-market for new materials.
Flamac has different platforms at its disposal to fulfill its mission and to provide our partners with the most state-of-the-art capabilities to perform high-throughput research. Please click on the side-menu for more information on the different platforms.
– High-throughput synthesis
– High-throughput formulation
– High-throughput application
– High-throughput thin film deposition
– High-throughput screening
. Combinatorial experimentation is an experimental strategy that solves this dilemma through automation, miniaturisation and, more important, parallelisation of experiments. Using this strategy hundreds of experiments can be performed simultaneously or in very rapid succession, speeding up dramatically the time to discovery and product development. Today’s robotic handling in combination with rapid screening (measuring, analysing) methods, miniaturisation of testing, and application of data mining and statistical and visualisation tools, allow for rapid harvesting of useful data and a better understanding of the parameters relating to the synthesis of new materials and formulations, their properties and effects.
Specific equipment and software has been installed in order to enable experimental workflows in the areas of viscous formulations, high speed curable coatings and many more. Those workflows are the backbone for the platform on which Flamac will further build its expertise. End of 2007, Flamac…. Yes. service.
