Platinum Group Coatings

Platinum Group Coatings (PGC) is a privately held company located in Pasadena, California. Employing 5 to 9 individuals, PGC is a leading developer of advanced electrode materials for the biomedical industry. Founded in 2012, the company specializes in Electro-Deposited Platinum Iridium Coatings (EP-IC), a patented technology that significantly improves the performance of traditional platinum iridium electrodes. PGC's core product is its EP-IC technology, which lowers the output impedance of electrodes by a factor of 10 to 100. This breakthrough enables the development of less invasive, lower-power neuromodulation devices and biosensors with enhanced performance. PGC's target customers include researchers, developers, and manufacturers working in the fields of neuromodulation therapy, biosensors, and biomedical microelectronics. PGC's EP-IC technology has garnered recognition from leading organizations. The company received its first Phase-I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2014 to evaluate the technology for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) applications. Subsequent successful completion of this program led to a Phase-II grant in 2015, further advancing the development and commercialization of EP-IC technology.
