Scitech Precision Ltd (@ScitechTargets) offers expertise in micro-assembly, micro-engineering, microfabrication, metrology and characterisation of laser targets - supplying bespoke microtargets for use in high energy photon science experiments. Experiments include laser (inertial) fusion experiments, ion acceleration, astrophysics simulations, warm dense matter experiments, shock compression, proton radiography and x-ray experiments. Targets for these include Multi-layer thin foil targets, Microdots arrays, Cones and Shells, Foam targets, Filters, Hohlraums, Micro-wire Backlighters, Pinhole arrays and more. Following its acquisition of Colsicoat Limited, Scitech Precision is also able to supply a range of spin-coated optical thin films.Two types of coating are offered โ€“ single layer antireflection coatings and phase plates. The phase plates have a high damage threshold making them suitable for use with high power lasers. (more information is available on the Products page or our website). As of spring 2016, our new laser micro-machining facilities have opened up an expanded catalogue of bespoke structures in metals, polymers, ceramics, composites and more. The above skills and technologies now allow us to offer a wide range of micro-assemblies, micro-engineered and laser machined components to both science and industry. Scitech Precision Ltd is based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and is a spin-out from the Science and Technology Facilities Council which combines expertise in micro-assembly and micro-engineering with extensive insight into the physics behind high power laser science. The team of dedicated target physicists and technicians have more than 60 years combined experience in the design, manufacture and assembly of solid, multi-material micro targets.

We design, develop and manufacture advanced biomaterials for use in implantable tissue-regenerative devices. The company supplies the first electrospun material to be incorporated into an FDA-approved medical device that promotes endogenous tissue repair in orthopaedic surgery. Our tried and tested processes support our customers from developing electrospun prototypes towards registration with the FDA or notified bodies and long term manufacturing. Our experience in electrospinning, manufacturing and quality management allows us to offer cost effective production of electrospun medical devices at scale. With over 30 years of combined experience in biomedical electrospinning, we are actively looking to engage with other partners to bring the benefits of electrospun biomaterials to a range of therapeutic indications. The company operates out of Class VII clean rooms and holds ISO 13485:2016 medical device quality certification.

A long-held goal in formulated product design is to shift from an ad-hoc labour-intensive process towards a more robust and adaptive computer aided formulation (CAF) paradigm. Formeric meets this goal by enabling users to design new formulated products via a web-based interface which provides access to simulation and modelling tools.
