Micromachines or Micro Electro Mechanical (MEMs) is an emerging technology that encompasses many different technologies. Micromachine technology refers to the micro miniaturization of machines (at the micrometer level). Micromachines can be found that incorporate silicon based electronic circuitry, micropumps, micropipes optical micro mirrors and cantilevers. Micromachines are closely related to electronic sensor technology. The process for the manufacture of micromachines is closely related to the integrated circuit manufacturing process. However, there are many micromachine processes that are strictly based on polymers or metals

MEMS / Biochip News November 8, 2004 Edition

Biochip technology from EMX Corporation (New York and London) is the basis of a new line of cellular phones from Ghanz EMF Telecom (New York). Reports indicate that the use of the radiation-free cellular phones will reduce the odds for the development of cell abnormalities related to cancer. The technology is expected to be applied to other electronic devices.

VTI Technologies reported that it will expand its products to include absolute pressure sensors for health and safety applications. The absolute pressure sensors are based on 3D MEMs technology.

Lumera Inc. has reported production delays for its biochips. The company has in development biochips to isolate DNAs and proteins for testing. Pilot production is expected to commence in early 2005.

Agilent Technologies has announced that it has sold over 1 million Labchips.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. reported revenues increased two fold from $28.0 million to $56.0 million. Product revenue increased from $18.3 million to $39.8 million. Service revenue increased nearly five fold to $10.1 million.
