Management EDC Biosystems has a highly motivated and experienced management team. Combined, they have launched several high-tech companies in the medical device, semiconductor equipment, and disk drive industries. In the early 1990's, the team assembled at Exclusive Design Company, a small capital equipment manufacturer. Within 24 months, the group successfully turned the company into a worldwide leader for supplying process equipment to the magnetic recording media manufacturers. Today, over 90% of the world's disk storage media products are processed using Exclusive Design Company's equipment.
In 1995, Exclusive Design Company began development of a "next-generation" Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) system for the semiconductor industry. The team was awarded five patents for its technologies and used them to spin-off an independent company, Obsidian Corporation. Deployment of Obsidian's CMP System garnered the Company considerable notoriety in the industry. That success led to the acquisition of Obsidian by Applied Materials in October of 1999.
The Team's next challenge was to transition into the biotechnology marketplace. In April 2000, the team successfully launched EDC Biosystems. Leveraging technologies and past successes, the core group of engineering talent developed and patented its unique and novel True Non-contact Technology™ to advance low-volume liquid handling in the life science industries.
In addition to its management team, an accomplished and highly regarded Board of Directors and Scientific Advisors guides EDC Biosystems.
