NanoInk, Inc. operates in the nanotechnology research sector, focusing on nanometer-scale manufacturing and applications development for the life sciences, engineering, pharmaceutical, and education markets. It relies on Dip Pen Nanolithography, a patented fabrication method that enables scientists to create micro- and nanoscale structures on a range of materials and substrates, often within a laboratory setting. The approach is described as low cost, easy to use, and scalable, bringing nanoscale fabrication to desktop-level laboratories. The company is based in Skokie, Illinois, in the Illinois Science + Technology Park, and maintains a portfolio of more than 250 patents and applications worldwide, along with licensing agreements with several universities, including Northwestern University, Stanford University, the University of Strathclyde, the University of Liverpool, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Its operations are organized into divisions named the NanoFabrication Systems Division, the Nano BioDiscovery Division, the NanoProfessor Division, and the NanoGuardian Division. The customer base comprises researchers and educators in the life sciences, engineering, pharmaceuticals, and related fields seeking nanoscale fabrication capabilities and associated applications development. In the nanotechnology landscape, NanoInk positions itself as a provider of practical, desktop-accessible nanofabrication solutions, supported by licensing partnerships with leading universities.
