Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices integrate and scale down laboratory functions and processes to a miniaturized chip format. Many LOC devices are used in a wide array of biomedical and other analytical applications including rapid pathogen detection, clinical diagnosis, forensic science, electrophoresis, flow cytometry, blood chemistry analysis, protein and DNA analysis. LOC devices can be fabricated from many types of material including various polymers, glass, or silicon, or combinations of these materials.
- Chemical synthesis, Drug Discovery & Development
- Biomarkers, Circulating Tumor Cells & Single Cell Analysis
- Biofabrication, Bioprinting & Disease Modelling
- Diagnostic Devices and Applications
- Food, Water, Environment Testing using Microfluidics
- Nanofluidics and Analytical Nanotechnolog
Bioprinting with the 3D-bioplotter allows medical researchers to combine cells, gels, fibers, polymers, ceramics, metals and more into a single scaffolded object that can replace a diseased, injured or missing body part, from tissue and bone to organs.
