MicroSolv Technology Corporation
MicroSolv Technology Corporation is a privately-held company operating in Leland, North Carolina and incorporated in New Jersey. At its inception, MicroSolv was a product line for Scientific Resources Incorporated (SRi), a chromatography supply company in Eatontown, New Jersey named MicroSolvCE™. Since 1992 MicroSolv personnel collaborated with numerous leading scientists at the time including Dr. Norberto Guzman, Chief Scientific Officer for Princeton Biochemicals, Inc. and Dr. Raghavendra Sahai, Owner of Eutech Scientific Services, Inc. to develop alternative technologies for Separation Science. MicroSolvCE™ was formed to utilize emerging technologies that were being developed in research and development in addition from customer-driven solutions. MicroSolvCE™ entered into the new market of Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) after co-developing the product CElixir™ (a double layer dynamic coating system that makes CE extremely reproducible and reliable for scientists) with Belgium based company, Analis. MicroSolv’s technologies grew to include additional consumable products for CE. The progress in those fields led to MicroSolv Technology Corporation’s formation in 1997. In 1999 Scientific Resources Incorporated was sold to National Scientific, which subsequently has been acquired by and is part of Thermo Fisher Scientific. MicroSolv Technology Corporation was managed by the original ownership team of Scientific Resources Incorporated. After the outstanding shares of MicroSolv were procured by private equity, it introduced new products with an additional focus on HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) another Separation Science and the first new product line was HPLC columns.

In 2002 Dr. Leslie Brown, the Technical Director for MicroSolv, discovered the Aqueous Normal Phase (ANP) Aqueous normal-phase chromatography mode of HPLC while working in the laboratory with chemist Trinh Van Lieu. This new process allows polar compounds or charged molecules can be retained on alternative stationary phase material utilizing an “inverse gradient”, which is the opposite effect with standard reverse phase HPLC gradients. This new stationary phase material was invented by Professor Joseph J. Pesek of San Jose State University who named it “Silica Hydride” and it is now commercially available as Cogent TYPE-C™ silica based HPLC columns. These products are manufactured and sold worldwide by MicroSolv Technology and its global distribution network.

MicroSolv developed and produces other scientific supplies focused on the separation sciences field. These technologies are specifically used in: Capillary Electrophoresis and HPLC. The products include HPLC columns, other dynamic coatings for capillary electrophoresis, reduced surface activity glass, autosampler vials, pharmaceutical-grade syringe filters, performance qualification (PQ) kits for verification and validation of HPLC, a vial centrifuge capable of using glass autosampler vials, and many other accessories for HPLC.
