Company description

Microsaic Systems plc is a high technology company developing and marketing next generation mass spectrometry (MS) instruments for the analysis of gaseous, liquid and solid samples - providing solutions to enhance workflow and productivity. Microsaic has successfully miniaturised mass spectrometry by integrating the key MS components onto patented chip technologies called ionchip®, spraychip® and vac-chip™. Microsaic's MS products retain the performance of larger, conventional MS systems but are substantially smaller, lighter, consume less energy and have lower running costs. The Company's first product, the Microsaic 3500 MiD®, was launched in January 2011 and the Company launched the Microsaic 4000 MiD®, the world's smallest MS system, in April 2013. MS is widely accepted as the 'gold standard' method for identifying individual chemicals in samples and is used routinely across multiple sectors, including government, energy, utilities, pharmaceutical, diagnostics and healthcare, environmental, food and drink, security and defence, and industrial chemicals. Microsaic partners with customers to deliver products incorporating its next generation MS and other MEMS based technologies. History Microsaic Systems plc was established in 2001 to develop miniaturised MS instruments based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) originating at the highly regarded Optical and Semiconductor Devices Group at Imperial College London. Microsaic has subsequently established a large portfolio of patents, of which 49 are granted, and six registered trademarks. The Company has been based at headquarters in Woking, UK since September 2004 and was admitted to AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange, in April 2011 (ticker: MSYS).
