How can we cut the costs down twice?
By combining micromachines, micromolds, and micro-machining
technologies we can offer an excellent balance between quality, speed and costs. Bundling micro inserts with other projects can reduce tooling costs twice.
Prototype and test only the critical geometries
We are enabling rapid prototyping with fused silica glass or micro milled chips by testing only critical features.

Fluid manipulation and droplets of a desired size
Molded​ microfluidic chips perform variety of tasks needed for biomedical engineering:
​
-
Droplet generation
-
Splitting
-
Merging
-
Sorting
​
Microfluidic systems working principles are based on low-Reynolds number flow regime. Precise generation and repeatability of monodisperse droplets is the core of microfluidics technology and this is a single task we mostly focus to do.
Applications of microfluidic cartridges
Microfluidic devices serve for custom applications scattered throughout biomedicine and biotechnology fields. Continuous-flow based systems range from point-of-care devices and single cell microfluidic analysis (microfluidic cell culture) to organ on a chip devices.
Even though not all droplet-based systems are disposable polymer microfluidic devices we focus on microfluidics fabrication from a single unit to a high volume production.
Microfluidic droplet generators across the industries
Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary technology which is used across variety of industries:
​
-
Chemical synthesis and biological analysis
-
Advanced diagnostics and therapeutics
-
Drug delivery
-
Biomedicine and biotechnology
-
Point of care diagnostics
-
Organic synthesis
​
Whichever field of interest the project might be, we are always eager to contribute.
