The Independent International Chromatography Network (IICN) and Its Benefits

Dear Chromatographer,

We are an international network of independent chromatography developers and owners/co-owners of private chromatography companies. Our partners/members include chemists, biochemists, surface chemists, and specialists in chromatography system development.

Our focus is advancing chromatography by providing unique solutions to complex problems, creating value for our clients.

The field of chromatography originated in the 1950s and 1960s. Researchers and users worldwide, whether engaged in fundamental or applied science and technology, frequently face challenging molecular separation issues. These individuals often reach out to us or our academic colleagues to develop tailored separation solutions. Together, we design unique problem-solving strategies that frequently lead to the development of efficient products or processes. These innovations often open-up new fields of growth. Some entrepreneurial academics see this as an excellent opportunity to establish private companies, paving the way to both freedom and success.

Our network members are driven to tackle new challenges and craft unique products and processes for chromatography users. While our passion lies in solving separation problems, our goal is also to provide innovative solutions to clients and collaborators across the globe.

Years ago, we founded this network to enable collaboration among privately owned chromatography specialists. By joining forces, we are empowered to focus on solving problems and offering solutions to local clients—individuals we know personally. Additionally, we share our creations with other network members, enabling bilateral trade. This approach allows for cost-efficient and rapid global distribution, connecting us with like-minded colleagues.

We adhere to a mutual agreement to respect one another’s work, avoiding duplication, and addressing unique requirements through negotiation if necessary. This ensures that we provide the highest level of technical expertise, deliver innovative products and processes, and achieve efficient global distribution tailored to local languages and legal requirements.

Privately owned companies, unlike larger anonymous corporations, excel in understanding the needs and desires of their clients. We thrive on building strong, trustworthy, long-lasting, and mutually beneficial relationships.

In the pages below our members discuss, sometime in local languages, latest news, strategic issues, promotional deals, new applications and products for you to evaluate. This will improve your knowledge, efficiency and effectiveness!

We look forward to discuss with you, how we can collaborate and support each other.

Kind regards,

Your Independent International Chromatography Network Team
