Organ-on-a-Chip Applications

Our microfluidic cartridges support the creation of organ-on-a-chip systems, providing controlled microenvironments for studying human organ function, drug responses, and disease progression. These cartridges are tailored to mimic physiological conditions, allowing researchers to perform high-throughput studies with unparalleled precision. 

Nanopore Sequencing

Nanopore sequencing requires highly specialized fluidics to support precise molecular analysis. Our cartridges are engineered to enable optimal DNA or RNA molecule transport through nanopores, ensuring accurate, efficient, and scalable sequencing for applications in healthcare, agriculture, and beyond. 

Droplet PCR

For droplet PCR, our microfluidic cartridges facilitate the generation of uniform droplets and precise thermal cycling, enabling ultra-sensitive detection of nucleic acids. These platforms are ideal for applications such as rare mutation detection, single-cell analysis, and digital PCR workflows. 

Cell Growth in Space

Microfluidic cartridges designed for space research must withstand unique environmental challenges. Our solutions support cell culture and growth experiments in microgravity, providing researchers with reliable platforms to study biological processes in space and their implications for human health. 

Genomic Analysis for Agriculture

Our cartridges are optimized for agricultural genomic applications, such as DNA/RNA extraction and sequencing, to identify traits for crop improvement, pest resistance, and soil health. By streamlining these processes, we enable faster, data-driven decisions for sustainable agriculture. 

DNA Synthesis

Microfluidic cartridges for DNA synthesis automate complex workflows, ensuring high-throughput production with exceptional accuracy. Our designs support applications such as synthetic biology, gene editing, and pharmaceutical development, accelerating the pace of innovation in life sciences.
