After a major company pivot, I am happy to announce that Xidas is applying its unique and powerful miniaturization platform to the world of small volume fluidics. Using highly integrated microelectronics and microfluidics technology ("microfluidic system in package"), Xidas empowers companies to reduce the size of their fluidic systems by a factor of 10 or more, all while increasing integration and reducing cost. Xidas powers next generation medical products (catheter systems, drug delivery devices, diagnostic devices, inhalable dosing), biotech products (micro tissue culture, cell sorting, microarrays), and industrial IoT systems (wireless small volume fluid monitoring). The market need for such fluidics-focussed products exceeds $100B, and there are few technologies that can solve this need.The Xidas team has decades of experience in the area of highly integrated small volume fluidics, has high levels of expertise in this area, and a passion to advance this technology to transform the world of fluidics.

Yes, I started a hardware company. We build really small industrial and medical devices. Actual things that move and sense the world. Engineered machines so small you need a microscope to see them, yet sophisticated enough to readily plug into conventional electronics and systems. Made from materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, and biomaterials. Many entrepreneurs are afraid of manufacturing, but our technology is so compelling, we had to do it. You won't believe the things we can build! So we're rolling up our sleeves and we're getting this done!Xidas (formerly Integra Devices) has a unique ability to "Engineer the Microworld", allowing us to produce next generation micro-scale integrated devices and systems without the limitations of conventional microfabrication, at a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, the Xidas approach significantly reduces the cost and time to innovate, design and manufacture these devices. Xidas is currently developing life-science products, zero-power sensing devices, and smart edge devices for deployment into 5G and IoT edge applications.We partner with innovative application and manufacturing companies in the US and key partners overseas to produce high value industrial products. Using Xidas's transformative technology, our manufacturing partners can build amazing microdevices with minimal investment and little to no new capital equipment costs. Compared with conventional micromachining, development costs are reduced by a factor of 10, time to develop reduced to a third, and production costs are cut in half. We are proud to bring advanced manufacturing to US partners to produce the next generation of micro-engineered products in the USA.Company link: www.xidas.comVideo link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y13iiM69izQ
