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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In recent years, considerable attention in surface engineering research has been directed towards superhydrophobic surfaces - surfaces that exhibit extremely high resistance to wetting by water. In ...
