Plasso Technology

Plasso Technology was a life sciences company specializing in advanced surface engineering solutions for biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. The company's core technology, Topas, utilized plasma polymerization to create highly controlled surfaces for protein microarrays, cell culture, and diagnostic assays. Their flagship product line, Pro-Link, provided optimized surfaces for the immobilization of proteins while maintaining their biological activity and orientation. Founded as a spin-out from the University of Sheffield, Plasso's innovations addressed critical challenges in biochip performance and reproducibility. The company was acquired by Eurofins Scientific in 2007 to bolster its bioanalytical service capabilities and surface chemistry expertise.
