ABTECH Scientific, Inc.
ABTECH Scientific, Inc. is a biotechnology test and measurement company involved in research, development, and commercialization of proprietary biochip-based diagnostics technology for the near patient clinical diagnostics market. ABTECH's mission is to deliver biochip-based test and measurement products that are cost effective, reliable, and meet the sensitivity and convenience requirements of the markets which they serve. Based on an integration of the microfabrication processes used in the production of very large scale integrated circuits and a proprietary position in chemically-responsive membrane materials that are themselves based on inherently conductive polymer/biopolymer complexes, ABTECH has developed electroactive polymer sensor technology (EPST). ABTECH’s EPST biochips are well suited to point of concern testing in the bioanalytical lab, physician’s office, and emergency care situations.
