Microfluidic Components

DNE designs and produces a category of microfluidic components called Lab-on Chip (LoC) and µLiter-pumps. Many innovations in medical diagnostics are based on biochemical insights in specialist research labs. In many instances, the chemistry needs to be packaged in a stable and rugged format for the market. One such packaging format is the “Lab-on-Chip” (LoC): A small microfluidic component in which the biochemistry is implemented for patient use. The LoC implements a multitude of functions like storage, transport, mixing, separation and detection of biological substances. Its compact size and cost-effectiveness promises considerable market growth as response to tighter cost-controls on health care expenditures. It takes expertise to translate biochemical concepts into a ready for market solution. Here, biotechnology meets microtechnology and economic reality. DNE supports customers with feasibility studies. Time-to-market, prototypes, functional design, material choice and manufacturing solutions for optimal results at competitive cost requires a skill-set DNE offers on a project-basis: DNE guides the technical discussions to prototyping and production quickly and efficiently.
