Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology in Barcelona, Spain, Purchases NanoInk's NLP 2000 Desktop NanoFabrication System

CHICAGO, IL, Sep 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
NanoInk's(R) NanoFabrication Systems Division is pleased to announce that
the Supramolecular NanoChemistry & Materials Group (NANOUP) at the
Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology (ICN) in Barcelona, Spain, purchased
an NLP 2000 System. NanoInk's NLP 2000 will be used to research
supramolecular nanomaterials, nano and bottom up combinatorial chemistry,
antibody and antigen interactions, and to facilitate material discoveries
and the study of their fundamental properties. The NLP 2000 System is a
desktop nanofabrication system that allows researchers to rapidly design
and create custom engineered and functionalized surfaces on the micro and
nanoscale, using Dip Pen Nanolithography(R) (DPN(R)) to transfer minute
amounts of materials over a large, environmentally controlled work area.

Prof. Daniel Maspoch, an ICREA Research Professor and leader of NANOUP at
the ICN said, "The NLP 2000 System allows for versatile patterning of a
wide range of substances and liquids including solutions of chemical
reactants and biomolecules. Uniquely, the system allows patterning over
large areas, opening up new possibilities for analysis and application of
the techniques we are developing and for studying the fundamental
properties of nanomaterials."

Dr. Robert Marchmont, NanoInk's general manager for Europe, the Middle
East and Africa (EMEA) said, "Prof. Maspoch's group has pioneered the
understanding of several fundamental aspects of Tip-Based
Nanolithography, including deposition of biomolecules and nanochemistry.
We look forward to supporting him and his group in developing future step
advances within this field."

The research at the Supramolecular NanoChemistry & Materials Group at the
Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology is focused on controlling the
supramolecular assembly of molecules, biomolecules, metal ions and
nanoscale building blocks at the nanometer scale for the design and
synthesis of novel functional architectures. The group is interested in
developing new technologies that enable the synthesis of complex
supramolecular assemblies and bioinspired architectures with
unprecedented structures and interesting physical and biological
properties. More information on Supramolecular NanoChemistry & Materials
group (NANOUP) is available at: http://www.nanoup.org or
