Microfluidics in Ecology

Water Tap













The ecology market for lab-on-a-chip comprises all the devices used to monitor the environment (air, water) and food. We divide ecology in three sub-markets: agriculture, food, and water / air, although there is a certain overlap.


Agriculture
Based in the Netherlands, Micronit is at the forefront of new developments and improvements in intensive agriculture.

Micronit chips are used to monitor nutrients, and to sort plant cells to increase crop quality and production.


Food & Nutrition
Micronit has developed microfluidic devices for universities and industrial parties doing research in the food and nutrition field.

Micronit chips are used to make emulsifications with very low size distribution and in micro and nano-filtration to improve food quality and safety.


Water / Air
Thanks to the size and cost of systems, water and air quality can be monitored at the point of use.

Micronit has developed chips for an on-line water monitoring system based on lab-on-a-chip technology.
