BNM Fabrika provides advanced products and services in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology for universities, research organizations and the medical industry.

"NanoInk is very pleased to appoint BNM Fabrika as its exclusive distributor in Turkey to help promote and support NanoInk's unique nanofabrication and nanoscience education programs," said Dr. Robert Marchmont, general manager, NanoInk's NanoFabrication Systems Division, EMEA. "We have already received positive feedback on our desktop nanofabrication equipment and for the high-quality support we provide. We look forward to a profitable and successful long-term partnership with BNM Fabrika."

Veysel Özkapıcı, general manager for BNM Fabrika, commented, "We are very excited to be working with NanoInk to grow Turkey's burgeoning nanotechnology industry. With the help of NanoInk, researchers in Turkey will be able to conduct highly technical research projects without a clean room and expensive supplement devices. The NanoProfessor Nanoscience Education Program will also help train the next generation of nanotechnologists in Turkey."

NanoInk's NanoFabrication Systems Division brings sophisticated nanofabrication to the laboratory desktop in an easy to use and affordable setting. NanoInk's NLP 2000 System is a desktop nanofabrication system that allows researchers to rapidly design and create custom engineered and functionalized surfaces, using Dip Pen Nanolithography® (DPN®) to transfer minute amounts of materials over a large, environmentally controlled work area. The DPN 5000 System is a full-featured, dedicated instrument for versatile nanopatterning of a variety of materials with nanoscale accuracy and precision. With its user-friendly interface, it is possible to easily design complex patterns while also precisely controlling the tip movements during the writing process.

NanoInk's NanoProfessor Nanoscience Education Program aims to expand hands-on nanotechnology education from the cleanrooms of research-based universities to undergraduate classrooms. The program alternates between classroom lectures and hands-on lab work and includes a textbook authored by leading nanotechnology experts, covering the topics of Nanotechnology Basics, NanoPhysics, NanoChemistry, NanoBiology and Environmental, Health, and Safety perspectives on nanotechnology.
