Sono-Tek to open cleanroom rated laboratory facility in China

Published: 21-Jul-2014

Operated by Unitak, the lab will be focused on medical device coating systems


Sono-Tek, a US manufacturer of precision ultrasonic spraying systems for a number of industries, headquartered in Milton, NY, will next month make available its Class 10,000 cleanroom laboratory in Guangzhou, China for customers to conduct testing using Sono-Tek coating equipment.

The facility is operated by Sono-Tek’s China distributor, Unitak. The laboratory will primarily be focused on Sono-Tek’s medical device coating systems, such as stent and balloon catheter coating equipment; as well as many nano-research applications.

'The new China-based facility is our first cleanroom rated laboratory,' said Steve Harshbarger, President of Sono-Tek. 'The rapidly growing demand for high quality medical devices in China has made this a logical place for expansion of our worldwide laboratory capabilities.

Sono-Tek already has a large customer base in China for stent coating systems and the new facility will allow China-based customers access to test the company's next-generation stent and balloon coating machines, as well as its latest thin film coating equipment.

Sono-Tek currently has six worldwide testing labs located in Germany, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, China and at its US headquarters.
