Izon Science Limited is a nanotechnology company that develops and sells nano-scale particle analysis and isolation tools. Their main instruments are based on principles of size exclusion chromatography and tunable resistive pulse sensing. Izon’s size-exclusion chromatography columns and related solutions are also used by diagnostics companies focused on developing extracellular vesicle biomarkers. Izon Science’s headquarters is located in Addington (Christchurch, New Zealand), where all instruments are manufactured. Background/History Izon Science Limited is a company incorporated as Australo Ltd. on January 10, 2005, by four New Zealand-based scientists. In 2007, Hans van der Voorn became CEO, and on November 17, 2008, the company was renamed Izon Science Limited. Initially focused on developing tunable resistive pulse sensing instruments for nanoparticle characterization, the company later expanded into developing tools for isolating exosomes and other extracellular vesicles from biological fluids. Presently, Izon Science develops and manufactures tools for nanoparticle characterization and separation, catering to academic researchers and diagnostics companies working with e
