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 ...
Miniaturisation is a challenge for the Healthcare sector. Sirris is supporting a company in the development of a fluidic microdevice for extremely accurate blood analysis, to be used at the patient's ...
