Samtec provides innovative solutions for interconnecting chips, packages, modules, and systems throughout the electronics industry. In order to address such a large range of applications, Samtec’s focus is on innovation. Our marketing tagline is “Integration = Innovation”. It shows in each current and future product Samtec makes.

As a part of Samtec’s Technology Centers, Samtec Microelectronics has provided device packaging services for medical devices and medical diagnostic equipment over the past 20 years.

To create disruptive technologies and products, companies must investigate new materials, processes, and equipment sets. Samtec has invested heavily in a new technology called Glass Core Technology (GCT), which provides avenues for new electrical, electro-optical, microfluidic, and biomedical applications. We will explore several of these applications and why they are so game changing for future biomedical device technologies.

This webinar will explain where Glass Core Technology will lead out customers to new products with a higher level of integration and more innovative features that result in smart biomedical devices and other emerging technologies.
