More than 2,000 companies use Microfluidizer technology in their operations including numerous Fortune 500 companies such as Abbott, Amgen, Chiron (Novartis), Dow, Dupont, International Flavors and Fragrances, L’Oreal, McCormick, Proctor & Gamble, Pfizer and Schering-Plough. With an extensive suite of more than 25 products offering scale-up solutions from the lab bench to large scale manufacturing, Microfluidizer processor technology is cited in more than 4,000 customer issued and applied for patents in the U.S. alone.

In 2004, MFIC focused their business plan to invest heavily in research and discovery. This investment led to the discovery and development of breakthrough technology, including Microfluidics Reaction Technology (MRT), advancing the field of formulation and further solidifying MFIC’s role as a global leader and innovator. MRT utilizes a revolutionary “bottoms up” proprietary approach whereby the particle is built up in seconds molecule by molecule allowing not only for optimal and consistent sizing of the particles but also for the creation of smaller particle sizes not previously achievable.

MFIC’s headquarters are located in Newton, MA as is their state-of-the-art research and discovery facility, The Microfluidics Technology Center. The Center serves as an innovation hub for the Company’s highly-specialized research team and is dedicated to advancing the formulation field by discovering breakthrough technologies, developing new applications for existing technology, creating innovative new formulation equipment to meet customers’ needs and pursuing groundbreaking work in the field of nanotechnology.

The Microfluidics Technology Center also serves a best-practice in meeting our customers’ needs. At the Center, customers have full access to the best engineers and the most advanced equipment in a single-laboratory setting to prepare, characterize and optimize formulation samples. Engineers will also assist customers in improving their existing products through reformulation using proprietary, leading-edge, high-shear Microfluidizer materials processors.
