Microfluidics laboratory for chip production

Microfluidics allows for precise control and liquid handling at the nanoliter regime. With 3D structures and channels at the size of a single cell scale, we address emerging fields such as precise cell manipulation, droplet microfluidics, and miniaturized Lab-on-a- Chip cytometry and analytical devices based on acoustic, optical, magnetic and impedance platforms including but not limited to:

• Parallelization with low volume consumption of biological and chemical assays
• Flow cytometry
• Droplet microfluidics
• Cell manipulation and separation
• Lab-on-a-Chip
• …

At TranslaTUM we offer an environment (Laminar Flow Modules, Cleanroom ISO-5, Spetec® Germany), which allows for rapid fabrication of microfluidic devices and prototypes for experimental setups including but not limited to:

• 3D printing (SLA based)
• PMMA Micromilling and micromachining
• Photolithography
• Direct Laser Lithography
• PDMS Soft Lithography
• CAD Design of prototypes and microfluidic devices
• Precision liquid handling (displacement and pressure based)
• Surface functionalization and modification
