Feature Spotlight: Fused Silica
Besides glass Micronit is also capable of micromaching fused silica. Most techniques work equally well on glass as on fused silica. Fused silica is the best material for applications that require UV transmittance or need low autofluoresence
Access2Flow Access2Flow, with its members FutureChemistry, Flowid and Micronit, has shown the fast scalability and applicability of microreactors in a case study for flow chemistry. For the case study, the Paal-Knorr reaction was used as a model reaction.
High Tech Factory
Last week Maria van der Hoeven, Minister of Economic Affairs, granted a cheque of 7.6 million euro's to "High Tech Factory". Local government will finance another 4 million euro's. The money will be used by the companies involved in High Tech Factory, such as Micronit, to expand cleanroom facilities to accomodate increasing production volumes.
Reference: Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteThe Isermann Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has developed a Microfluidics laboratory experiment to introduce undergraduate chemical engineers to this new and upcoming field with Micronit products.
