Event: MicroTAS 2013

The Seventeenth International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (µTAS 2013) will be held at the Messe Freiburg in Freiburg, GERMANY from 27 - 31 October 2013.

µTAS 2013 continues a series of Conferences that are the premier forum for reporting research results in microfluidics, microfabrication, nanotechnology, integration, materials and surfaces, analysis and synthesis, and detection technologies for life science and chemistry. The Conference offers plenary talks as well as contributed oral presentations and posters selected from submitted abstracts.

Micronit will be present at booth no. 22

Event: Lab-on-a-Chip World Congress

The Lab-on-a-Chip World Congress will bring together leaders from both academia and industry to discuss innovative developments in this exciting field, with presentations exploring the latest advances in microfluidics and microfabrication. Attention will also be given to some of the many applications of Labs-on-Chips, from the enhancement of life science research, to taking diagnostics to the point of need.

The conference will be co-located with Microarray World Congress, Point-of-Care Diagnostics World Congress and Single Cell Analysis Summit. 

This annual event will be held in San Diego, CA, USA, 12 - 13 September 2013.

Use our broad expertise in Droplet Formation

Micronit has a wealth of experience in making custom microfluidic chips for a large variety of applications. Among the application fields for which we have developed our specialist knowledge is the formation of microdroplets. We have been helping our customers realise their chip ideas for droplet production for more than a decade now. During this time we have gained unique know-how in the production of chips to guarantee we can meet our customers’ desires for:

•  Encapsulation of droplets
• High throughput droplet generation
• Merging and mixing of droplets
• Droplet sorting
• Droplet manipulation

Our experience in droplet generating structures, both for low and high throughput, as well as in custom coatings and tuning surface properties means we can manufacture devices targeted towards your application needs and specified fluid characteristics.

Droplet Generation

Please contact us to discuss your ideas, to pose your questions or for further information.

Interfacing with SideConnect Technology

The patent pending SideConnect technology simplifies the microfluidic chip/cartridge design. Microfluidic access is provided on the edge of the chip at the bonding interface between top and bottom wafer (side connection), thus avoiding additional processing like hole drilling or powder blasting of the top layer. This reduces production costs. Moreover, the functional area of a chip can be significantly reduced due to the smaller footprint of the design (only channels). The microfluidic chip can be side connected to a plastic cartridge either in a 2D (in-plane) or a 3D (out-of-plane) configuration.

The 2D version results in a slim assembly, which is easily accessible for optical applications.

The 3D version contains top reservoirs that can be easily integrated into a surrounding cartridge and accessed for pipetting a defined volume of sample, buffer or reagent.

This SideConnect technology has already proven to be compatible with applications like capillary electrophoresis, but the chip-cartridge design can basically be customized to any specific application. Currently, new SideConnect disposable lab-on-chip products are being developed for use in several Point-of-Care applications.

Micronit expands Cleanroom Facilities

Enschede (Netherlands), 19 June 2013 – Micronit has recently expanded its cleanroom facilities both in space and state-of-the-art equipment. This is a result of a growing order portfolio and the introduction of new production techniques. With these additional cleanroom facilities, Micronit can now easily meet the demands and expectations of today and those of the future in the fields of Microfluidics and MEMS.

Micronit has over a decade of experience in the microfluidics market, serving its customers from design to prototyping to manufacturing. The unique approach of Micronit based on microfluidics and application know-how, high quality standards and its state-of-the-art production facilities has lead to many satisfied customers.

“Micronit is driven to produce innovative and custom based microfluidic components, allowing our clients to break-through in new markets successfully. Our ambition to grow is supported by the High Tech Factory which offers flexible, high-tech infrastructure closely linked to MESA+, a community of over 500 people active in micro- and nanotechnology", says Ronny van ‘t Oever, Director and co-founder of Micronit Microfluidics. 

Micronit gives Permanent Price Reductions on their Catalogue Products

Micronit Microfluidics is reducing the prices of its standard microfluidic products significantly with price cuts of up to 75%. It is now possible to have all the advantages of a high quality glass chip for the price of a standard plastic device. Micronit has shown yet again that with the right technology and process optimization microfluidic chips made of glass can be both high quality and affordable.

"With over a decade experience in microfluidic chip manufacturing we have worked on many exciting and challenging projects with our customers. Meaning we have been continually improving our processes and technologies while maintaining our high quality standards. This together with the increased volume of our products in the market it allows us to reduce the prices for our standard microfluidic chips." says Ronny van 't Oever, Managing Director and Founder of Micronit.

MicronitMicrofluidics has been manufacturing glass-based lab-on-a-chip products for more than thirteen years. Micronit provides high quality lab-on-a-chip components for analytical instrumentation and is also a dedicated research and development partner for both science and industry.   store.micronit.com
