A rapidly growing interest in lab-on-chip microfluidic devices and MEMS packaging applications has led to a number of new technological developments in this area. Besides accurate microstructuring and machining of glass wafers, the development of passive flow control tools, microfluidic interfacing solutions, innovative MEMS and polymer microfabrication technologies are four new key technology areas at Micronit:
- Passive capillary stop valves are an elegant way for a flowing liquid, within a microfluidic device, to be completely stopped without any external interference. Use of this technique in combination with non-mechanical triggering (e.g. electrostatic fields), enables the implementation of more complex laboratory workflows, requiring multiple flow sequences, without the need for mechanical valves or active pumping.
- A patent pending SideConnect technology - in addition to the Fluidic Connect Pro platform - simplifies the microfluidic chip/cartridge design, thus reducing product costs.
- Micronit MEMS aims at providing the MEMS industry with structured glass wafers which can be an excellent packaging material for MEMS sensors and actuators. Offered technologies include room temperature bonding and Through Glass Vias (TGVs).
- Micronit has set up a product development platform for prototyping and medium to high volume manufacturing of microfluidic devices in any kind of material, including various polymers.
