Sonoco aimed to enhance quality control in its production of tubular food packaging by investigating automation options. This study resulted in a preliminary trial using a robot.
In this article of our series on microfluidic lab-on-chips, we describe how to apply and control the temperature in ‘miniaturised’ geometries, as is the case for microfluidic chips. Are you a designer ...
Researchers at Sirris demonstrate for first time femtosecond laser texturing of soft biopolymer coatings as a high-throughput method for surface patterning.
In this article of our series on microfluidic lab-on-chips we discuss some basic principles of how to detect or quantify the amount of biochemical target in a test sample.
At the end of 2023, the 3-year BREPLA project, with a focus on Biobased REinforced PLAstics, came to an end. During this project, Sirris worked together with project partner Centexbel – VKC to promote ...
The PONAMP project, a joint initiative of R&D company Materia Nova and Sirris that ran from 2019 to 2021, resulted in several material innovations. One of its key achievements is the modification of ...
With its JAMP project (Joining of Additive Manufactured Parts), the European Space Agency (ESA) wants to improve the fabrication of spacecraft parts and test the viability of new assembly methods. The aim of the project, more specifically, is to analyze and evaluate the assembly of metal parts made from additive manufacturing (AM).
Earlier in this ongoing series of articles on microfluidics in industry, we discussed various development steps for a lab-on-a-chip system. In the project ‘Medical Diagnostics Goes Micro and Smart’ we ...
Solhyd, a KU Leuven spin-off, aims to make green hydrogen accessible to everyone. To this end it has developed a hydrogen panel that uses sunlight to produce hydrogen. With this unique technology, it ...
What keeps companies awake at night when it comes to the automation of finishing processes such as sanding, deburring and polishing? That’s what we want to know, which is why we created a survey ...
