NanoMicro’s products cover a broad spectrum of applications including high performance Chromatography Media, solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbents, Particle Size Standards, Magnetic Particles, LCD Spacers, ACF Conductive Particles, and various other micro particles. In fact, the biopharmaceutical industry is even more inseparable from microsphere technology, and chromatography packing/chromatographic medium is widely used for isolation and purification. In the past, the market was highly monopolized by foreign manufacturers, but NanoMicro successfully broke through the blockade on techniques. At present, NanoMicro is one of the few companies in the world that can simultaneously produce inorganic and organic high-performance nanoparticles on a large scale, which is an investment opportunity that cannot be missed.</p>
