At AFP, we pride ourselves on helping you build better analytical instruments. One of the ways we believe in doing this is through continuous growth and offering the best possible chromatography solutions for our customers.

AFP has made a name for itself in the gas chromatography market with its innovative product line and 34 patents. However, we wanted to be able to offer our customers a full product line, including liquid chromatography, to become a complete fluidic solutions company.

Our solution to this? We have recently made the strategic acquisition of ParMed, a company specializing in liquid chromatography solutions. AFP and ParMed both use unique patented technologies that complement both gas and liquid valves, bringing the opportunity to service new markets and applications.

AFP’s goal is to create solutions to industry problems and give our customers achievable competitive products that will make their jobs easier and better. With the acquisition of ParMed, we take another step towards our goal of helping you build better analytical instruments.
