The Company
The Company: CMA Microdialysis is a Swedish company devoted to the development, manufacturing and marketing of the microdialysis technique. The company was formed in 1984 and was the first company in the world to market microdialysis, products and know-how. Our instruments and computer software are sold to
universities, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies as unique tools for in vivo sampling of organs and tissues.
CMA Microdialysis is still the leading company within the Scientific &
medical research devices field and since 1994 the only company in the world
marketing Microdialysis clinical diagnostics. CMA has today 75 employees
working in Sweden, England, France, Germany and USA.
 The History
The concept of microdialysis was born more than twenty years ago.
While examining the cross-section of a blood vessel among fluorescent nerve endings,
Professor Urban Ungerstedt of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm
had the idea of using a dialysis tube as "an artificial blood capillary", in order to monitor
chemical events
in the tissue.
The first paper on microdialysis was published in 1974.
Since then, approx 10,000 scientific papers have been published on the technique
- among them some 1000 clinical investigations.
CMA/Microdialysis originates from a truly creative and innovative university environment.
The innovative spirit is maintained by our staff, many of whom were involved in the original development of the technique.
Products
CMA produces a complete range of microdialysis products for basic research: Everything from the smallest
microdialysis probe in the world to pumps, fraction collectors, HPLC analyzers and complete systems for demanding research.
The clinical products range includes microdialysis catheters for subcutaneous and intra-muscular use,
catheters for monitoring the human brain, battery driven pumps for ambulatory or stationary use and a bedside
chemical analyzer for continuous display of the tissue chemistry of the patient.
The massive amount of data generated by microdialysis and other complementary
techniques has prompted CMA to develop truly extraordinary computer software:
LABpilot and ICUpilot for laboratory and clinical use respectively.
They
introduce the new concept of "Data Navigation" where data can be displayed and
manipulated in a completely graphic environment. ICUpilot enables the complete
bedside integration of all physiological, chemical and pharmacological data as
unparalleled decision support for the medical professional.
Sofar only LABpilot is for sale.
Education
Courses on Microdialysis for clinicians, scientists and nurses are
held regularly.
Microdialysis User meetings are held once every second year.
