Description:

Grolltex, for 'graphene-rolling-technology', is an advanced materials and biosensor company with patent protected processes enabling 1) The mass production of high quality, CVD generated 'sheet' graphene at scalable, manufacturing friendly prices, and 2) The design and production of single atomic layer biosensors capable of advanced life science applications in genomics, antigen and molecular detection, glucose and allergen sensing and many other areas. . The company's novel concept of 'metal assisted exfoliation' significantly lowers costs for the type of large area, mono-layer graphene needed for electronics manufacturing, finally taking graphene out of the lab and moving it into practical application. This process solves the CVD generated graphene 'transfer issue' by removing graphene from the previously sacrificial copper substrate without destroying the copper, putting that same copper right back into the production line. Additionally, this methodology uses conventional thin film tools and processes that exist in industry today.
