EnglishWhat is NanoEntek and what do its lab-on-a-chip products do?
Updated
NanoEntek is a life science and in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) device company whose core technology is a "lab-on-a-chip" platform combining MEMS with microfluidics. It designs microchannels on plastic or glass microfluidic chips, then adjusts and controls the flow of biofluids so that analysis can be performed in a very short time using a very small amount of sample. If you work in a lab or IVD workflow that needs fast, low-volume cell or immunoassays, NanoEntek's product line is aimed at exactly that space.
The core technology: lab-on-a-chip
NanoEntek describes its key technology as lab-on-a-chip, which merges MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) and micro-fluidics. The practical idea is:
- Input: a very small amount of biofluid sample.
- Action: the sample moves through microchannels designed on a plastic or glass chip, where flow is adjusted and controlled.
- Output: biological test results are analyzed, with the whole process completed in a very short time.
This is the mechanism behind all of the company's representative products below — the chip handles fluid control, and the instrument reads and analyzes the result.
Representative products and what they do
| Product | Type | What it is used for |
|---|---|---|
| FREND System | Microfluidic immunofluorescence analyzer | Immunofluorescence analysis |
| EVE HT FL | High-throughput fluorescence cell counter | Counting cells at higher throughput |
| ADAM MC Plus | Fluorescence cell counter | Cell counting, positioned as "most accurate" |
| ADAM rWBC HT | Residual white blood cell counter | Counting residual white blood cells |
| ADAMII CD34 | Fluorescence CD34 counter | CD34 cell counting |
The line splits roughly into two families: the FREND immunoassay analyzer and the ADAM / EVE fluorescence cell counters. The ADAM and EVE instruments cover general cell counting, residual white blood cell counting, and CD34 counting — all tasks that appear in cell analysis, immunodetection, and IVD laboratory workflows.
Where these products fit
Based on the product descriptions, typical scenarios include:
- Cell analysis — routine fluorescence cell counting (ADAM MC Plus, EVE HT FL).
- Immuno detection — microfluidic immunofluorescence assays (FREND System).
- Residual white blood cell testing — ADAM rWBC HT.
- CD34 counting — ADAMII CD34.
One notable application outside the lab bench: Lancôme used NanoEntek's Cell BioPrint skin analysis service at a pop-up store in Lotte Avenuel Jamsil, where visitors could discover their biological skin age. That shows the same platform technology being adapted to a consumer-facing skin analysis service, not only clinical or research use.

If your question is whether a specific NanoEntek instrument fits your assay, the fastest path is to match your sample type and target (cells, residual WBCs, CD34, or immunofluorescence) against the product table above, then check the individual product page or contact a regional distributor for detailed specifications.
