Industry 4.0 sparks debate, but what’s new in standardisation? What does the future hold? Sirris compiled key info and FAQs on Industry 4.0 standards to keep you informed.

These two standards facilitate the transition to smart, flexible and connected factories.

Increasingly robots and autonomous vehicles are working alongside operators. But what about the standards? What is to be expected in this field? Want to know which standards affect you?

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 or engineer who needs to realise strict temperature control – heating as well as cooling – within ...

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 show how this development process works in practice by means of a demonstrator. On June 24, 2024 ...

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 microfluidic chips.

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. A range of different techniques are used that make it possible to produce microscopic patterns on ...

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 ...
