Biocoat Announces Formation of Surmodics Services & Technologies Division Following Merger and Divestiture Transactions
Read Press Release
Surmodics ST offers controlled-environment coating services that support prototype builds, feasibility studies, and production-level coating runs. Each project is executed by specialists who understand how coating parameters, substrate preparation, and environmental controls impact performance. This service is ideal for teams who need reliable coating execution without internal coating infrastructure.
What this service supports:
For manufacturers who prefer to internalize coating processes, Surmodics ST provides technology transfer and reagent licensing programs designed to make the process seamless.
What the program includes:
Our R&D collaboration programs pair your team with scientists and engineers who have hands-on experience with hydrophilic chemistry, substrate interaction, fluid behavior, and device geometry considerations. Together, we evaluate performance goals and refine coating approaches to support both functional and manufacturable outcomes. Surmodics ST collaboration provides a practical, problem-solving mindset backed by deep coating expertise.
Typical collaboration focus areas:
Coating feasibility and concept evaluation
Material compatibility assessments
Custom coating approach development
Surmodics ST provides testing and characterization services to help teams understand coating performance and validate early assumptions. These evaluations support development decisions, manufacturing planning, and quality requirements. These insights are conducted by specialists who understand both the data and the device context behind it.
Testing capabilities include:
Our team provides guidance on refining coating steps to support yield, repeatability, and manufacturing flow. Our teams understand how surface treatments, cure strategies, and environmental controls influence downstream outcomes. This service helps ensure that coatings perform not only in testing but also in long-term manufacturing settings.
Support may include:
Step optimization and sequencing
Pre- and post-coating handling guidance
Insights into manufacturability and scale-up considerations
Recommendations for reducing process variability
Each service program is guided by specialists with extensive experience in coating behavior, material science, and device design. Their practical understanding of how surface technologies interact with real device geometries enables them to provide clear, reliable guidance from early evaluation through commercial scale.
Our team is ready to support your program and help you navigate coating strategy, material selection, and development requirements.
