About Microsaic Systems plc
Microsaic Systems develops chip-based scientific instruments for the identification of substances in solids, liquids and gases. The Company's products are based on the 'gold-standard' scientific technique of mass spectrometry (MS).
Microsaic Systems has developed a miniaturised mass spectrometer product, based on its patented, chip-based technologies (ionchip®, spraychip® and vac-chip™), that is smaller, lighter, quieter, more energy efficient and cheaper to run than conventional MS systems.
Mass spectrometry (MS) is used across multiple sectors, including government, energy, utilities, pharmaceutical, diagnostics and healthcare, environmental, food and drink, security and defence, and industrial chemicals - a combined market of $3 billion in 2012.
Microsaic Systems was established in 2001 by a team including founders from Imperial College London, and was admitted to AIM in April 2011 under the symbol MSYS.
