Custom Microfluidics Manufacturer

Microfluidics is the study of systems that process small quantities of fluids using channels with microscale dimensions, usually from tens to hundreds of micrometers. Although still developing, microfluidics has quickly emerged as a breakthrough technology for many scientific fields, from biology and chemistry to medicine and optics.

The primary advantage of microfluidics is the volume of fluids used. Fluids in microliter quantities have entirely different behaviors than those on a macroscale. This enables greater control of experimental parameters and sample concentration. Other benefits include:

• Uses Small Amounts Of Samples And Reagents
• Lower Costs Than Traditional Analysis
• High Resolution The Detection And Separation Of Molecules
• Strong Sensitivity In The Detection And Separation Of Molecules
• Smaller Footprint Than Traditional Laboratory Machines
• Shorter Analysis Times
• Faster Results
• Greater Flow Control

Because of the small size of components, there’s more flexibility than traditional benchtop applications. The ability to put an entire laboratory procedure into an easy-to-use microsystem has given microfluidics the nickname of lab-on-a-chip. The chip is the pattern of microchannels in which the fluid flows.

An extensive array of applications can benefit from microfluidics, from early-stage clinical analyses to novel compound chemical syntheses. Common uses for microfluidic devices include testing for the following in a medical setting: 

• Glucose Levels
• Cholesterol Levels
• Electrolyte Analysis
• Enzyme Analysis
• Drug Tests
• Infectious Diseases
• Pregnancy
• Blood Gases
• Cardiac Markers
