The Dolomite Centre
the world's first microfluidic application centre
History
Dolomite has its roots in Syrris, which was founded in 2001 by Mark Gilligan and Richard Gray to address the challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry. While Syrris focuses on flow chemistry and microreactors, Dolomite was set up as a subsidiary to provide microfluidic solutions to customers around the world in a very wide range of applications outside the field of research chemistry.

In 2006, Dolomite won funding from the UK Department of Trade and Industry's Micro and Nanotechnology Manufacturing Initiative. This initial £2m funding allowed Dolomite to establish excellent micro-fabrication facilities that include cleanrooms and applications laboratories.
Since 2009 Dolomite is part of the Blacktrace Group.
