The ageing of people in the western world asks for better and cheaper diagnostic and therapeutic devices in order to improve the quality of life. Micronit has developed microfluidic devices for companies in these markets.

Key advantages of microfluidics

• point-of-care devices possible
• efficiency in workflow
• low-cost analysis 

DIAGNOSTICS
Lab-on-a-chip enables the development of a new class of consumer diagnostics. Next-generation point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests are developed for the detection of various substances in the human body.

Two important criteria for diagnostic chips are quality and price. Disposable microfluidic chips need to be very cheap with a guaranteed quality and a low tolerance. 

Micronit has developed a very economical disposable analysis chips based on years of experience with capillary electrophoresis. The chip allows the separation of ions and charged molecules within seconds.

THERAPEUTICS
Microfluidics technology enables the development of next-generation drug delivery systems. Portable devices, even implantable, are based on lab-on-a-chip technology. They improve treatment and comfort and promote better health and well-being.

Micronit chips are being used in controlled drug delivery. Due to the very low tolerances on channel dimensions, our flow restrictor chips can guarantee the delivery of exact amounts of any liquid.
