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.

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 ...

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 time and resources. Thanks to microfluidics, these process steps can now be carried out on a “lab-on ...

Le micro-manufacturing élargit fortement les horizons des industriels, des PME, les start-ups dans leur développement de nouveaux produits. Il transforme radicalement les produits en les emmenant dans le monde des dimensions millimétriques à micrométrique, offrant ainsi un avantage concurrentiel ...

Equipment based on microfluidics is slowly finding its way into everyday life. Just think of the now well-known COVID-19-PCR test. The classic way to manufacture the moulds for these microfluidic systems is by machining (EDM). An alternative with additional advantages is the femto-laser.

At the start of the coronavirus crisis, the University of Liège (ULiège) developed a test providing for the large-scale automation of the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. This technical development ensured that 5000 PCR tests could be produced from the outset and has ...
