Research & Development

The CADworks3D μMicrofluidics Printer gives you the ability to design, print and test microfluidic part’s layouts in-house allowing for rapid evaluation of your models within hours, to meet tight deadlines and eliminating the need to outsource. With the CADworks3D μMicrofluidics Printer you can be up and running right out of the box.

Intellectual Property

Microfluidics research is evolving very quickly and controlling your intellectual property is extremely important. With the CADworks3D μMicrofluidics Printer, you can now design, print and assess your microfluidics parts within your lab without the need to outsource.

Knowledge & Support

The key difference between a general multipurpose off-the- shelf 3D Printer and CADworks μMicrofluidics Edition is knowledge & support. A general multipurpose 3D printer will come with general knowledge & support. The CADworks μMicrofluidics Edition has been specialised for microfluidics applications and the support will be provided by our microfluidics 3D printing specialist..

Abstract

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a long‐standing material of significant interest in microfluidics due to its unique features. As such, rapid prototyping of PDMS‐based microchannels is of great interest. The most prevalent and conventional method for fabrication of PDMS‐based microchips relies on softlithography, the main drawback of which is the preparation of a master mold, which is costly and time‐consuming. To prevent the attachment of PDMS to the master mold, silanization is necessary, which can be detrimental for cellular studies. Read More

Abstract

Background: Tumor heterogeneity and evolution of SCLC is poorly defined. Serial longitudinal interrogation of tumor heterogeneity from CTCs detected in peripheral blood patient (pt) samples is a potential strategy to address this gap in knowledge. Read More

Abstract

Bonding of polymer-based microfluidics to polymer substrates still poses a challenge for Lab-On-a-Chip applications. Especially, when sensing elements are incorporated, patterned deposition of adhesives with curing at ambient conditions is required. Here, we demonstrate a fabrication method for fully printed microfluidic systems with sensing elements using inkjet and stereolithographic 3D-printing. Read More
