IMT Masken und Teilungen AG - Microfluidics on Glass Poster Award
To be relevant to the spirit and intent of this Microfluidics on Glass Award, the advancement considered must address at least one of the following:
- Use glass as a substrate material for a nano/microfluidic device where the unique optical, electrical, or surface properties of glass provide a profound advantage,
- Demonstrate novel biosensing capabilities,
- Exhibit hybridisation of glass with other materials (composites),
- Establish design for manufacturability with materials and processes that have the potential to be scaled up through transfer to industry.
