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 ...
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.
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 ...
A lab-on-a-chip (LoC) makes it possible to miniaturise complex lab processes and perform them fast and accurately on a microscale. In this article we focus on the aspects of flow control in such ...
Innovation in manufacturing plays a key role in reducing the industry’s environmental impact. Recent advances in non-classical manufacturing technologies, such as ultrashort pulsed laser manufacturing ...
Polymer-based microfluidic chip production is ideally suited for high-volume, low-cost applications such as bedside diagnostics, quality control in the field and rapid sample preparation for analysis ...
Microfluidics - the manipulation of fluids at micro-scale - offer considerable advantages, such as a significant reduction in the volumes of samples, reagents and waste. Unique chemical and physical functions, derived from this scale, open the way to innovative applications. Designing a microfluidic component involves several key design stages, which we outline in this second article on microfluidics in industry.
In many industries test samples are taken on a regular basis to check or analyse their composition. These samples take a whole course, from collection to appropriate action, which takes up (too) much ...
3D printing, digitalisation, ultrasonic replication, integrated electronics, ... all these technologies can enhance products, even on microscale! Micromanufacturing offers industrial companies, large ...
26 May 2022 is the official date of application for the Regulation 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR), thereby repealing the old IVD directive 98/79/EC. There are still many ...
Tool monitoring is needed in the milling process in order to be able to automate it and to ensure the quality of the products. This is not an easy task where micromilling tools are involved, but ...
