In a nanosecond NanoInk offers nanotechnology fabrication tools, based on a system it calls Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN). It is designed for use in chemistry, life science, and semiconductor industries which manufacture products at a molecular scale. The technology was originally developed at the Nanotechnology Institute of Northwestern University. Customers include the Air Force Research Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Texas A&M University, and the Washington Technology Center, to name a few. The company was founded in 2001 by Northwestern professor Chad Mirkin and has received $9 million in private equity funding from Galway Partners and the Lurie Investment Fund.

NanoInk, Inc. is an emerging growth nanotechnology company headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, with a MEMS fabrication facility in Campbell, California.
A spin-off of Northwestern University and founded by Northwestern professor Chad Mirkin, NanoInk specializes in nanometer-scale manufacturing and applications development for the life science and semiconductor industries. Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a patented and proprietary nanofabrication technology[clarification needed] marketed as an anti-counterfeiting aid for pharmaceutical products.
Other key applications include nanoscale additive repair, and nanoscale rapid prototyping. Located in the Illinois Science + Technology Park, north of Chicago, NanoInk currently has over 100 patents and applications filed worldwide and has licensing agreements with Northwestern University, Stanford University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Within seven months of its formation, the firm released its first product, the DPN-System-1, which turns any atomic force microscope into a DPN machine.[1]
