In the academic world, microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip are popular research
fields. Students, PhDs and Post-Docs are showing revolutionary results, obtained
after many years of research.
The microfluidic devices and tools needed
are often developed by the researchers themselves. Sometimes it takes several
months or even years to develop a device that really works and that meets the
needed specifications for the experiments.
However, companies also have
a large history of research and development, and they do have the means and
manpower to offer a rapid solution to a microfluidic problem.
Decrease your time to publish!
Within 4 to 6 weeks, we can supply you with specific microfluidic glass chips and connection tools, developed to your individual desires. The combination of our advanced equipment facilities and our microfluidics and micromaching know-how enables us to offer rapid prototyping.
Result: We will decrease the time you need to obtain scientific results (and to be able to publish them)!
Applicable technologies
Micronit can apply various technologies for the micromachining
and functionalizing of glass microfluidics devices:
- use of different glass types
- use of different micromaching technologies (powderblasting, wet etching, DRIE etching)
- integration of electrodes
- combination of glass with silicon or polymers
- glass surface modification (coating)
Lab-on-a-Chip Kit
Micronit developed a lab-on-a-chip kit, ready to create your
own lab-on-a-chip set-up. The kit enables the microfluidic connection of
lab-on-a-chip components to standard lab equipment. Refer to Lab-on-a-Chip
Kit 4515 for more information.
