Dimatix, Inc. was presented with the first-ever Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal Emerging Technology Award at a recent dinner held to recognize the winners. The company was selected in the Biotechnology category for its innovative Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP).
“The Emerging Technology Awards recognize Silicon Valley companies like FUJIFILM Dimatix that are creating and bringing to market cutting-edge technologies,” said Vintage Foster, publisher of the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal. “Our inaugural event honored 12 companies in 11 different categories. We believe these emerging companies and technologies have the potential to profoundly impact people and businesses.”
“This award is a testament to our belief that ink jet printing has the potential to change the materials processing world,” said Jan Sumerel, Ph.D., manager of biomedical sciences, FUJIFILM Dimatix. “Corporate and university research teams are using the DMP to print fluids and molecules for new applications ranging from RFID, flexible electronics and photovoltaics to biotechnology applications like biosensors and DNA synthesis reactions. The ability to precision print – without heat – fluids like DNA, enzymes, proteins, organic polymers and nanoparticles, can have wide-reaching implications.”
