Microfluidic Devices
When developing a microfluidic device, there are many factors to consider: channel designs and sizes, control over critical dimensions, layer alignment, which type of materials or lithography processes can be used, etc.
Think of what an experienced partner can do for you, imagine your development further down the road. Don’t you want a flexible development and reliable manufacturing company to ensure your device is brought to volume and to market quickly?
Our experts are here to think along with you and accelerate your innovation with clever approaches in designing and manufacturing. We have been working on microfluidic technology for over 15 years now, and we are ready to share our knowledge with you.
How can we help you with your microfluidic device?

MEMS for Microfluidic Devices
Micro-Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) are mechanical and electrical structures in silicon wafers using photolithography, etching and deposition processes to create structures for microfluidics. Using MEMS & thin film technologies like lithography, nano-imprint, dry and wet-etching, deposition, and a variety of laser systems, we can manufacture microfluidic devices in a range of substrate materials like silicon, glass, polymers or metal.
Examples of microfluidic applications:
- Wells
- Nozzles
- Jets
- Channels
- Barriers
- Complete functional chips
Flexibility in substrates & materials
A wide range of choice in biocompatible materials:
- Polymers
- Metals
- Oxides
- Application tailored solutions
Choice in deposition techniques to suit your application:
- Evaporation
- Sputtering
- Chemical vapor deposition
- Spin coating
- Spray coating
- Atomic layer deposition
