Our multidisciplinary team can provide a large range of development and services. Our management is based around senior engineers in microfluidics totalizing more than 70 peer reviewed publications, 400 citations and 10 microfluidic patents. Short cycle development and matrix management scheme have been chosen to maximize the added value of our specialized engineers completing the microfluidic core of our R&D team.

Microtechnologies

• CAO of microfluidic layers
• PDMS or Glass-PDMS-Glass device prototyping
• Surface micro and nano patterning

Electronics / informatics

• Analogical electronics (internal prototyping / routing/ external production)
• Digital electronics (SPIE/ USB / I2C)
• µ-controller programming
• Matlab / Labview /C / C++ programming
• Web / software / driver and installation pack design

Mechanics / Thermodynamics / Fluidics

• CAO (Solid Works, Catia)
• Finite elements simulation (Comsol)
• Mechanical and 3D rapid prototyping
• Injection molding

Biology / biochemistry

• Cellular Biology (bacteria, yeast, embryo, worms, Hela and steem cells)
• Housing at Cochin hospital (-80°C fridge, homologated labs)
• Access to high resolution microscopy center
• PCR/basic proteomics

The Microfluidic Innovation Center can also provide small and medium series of OEM or custom products. Our Production relies on a network of selected providers from Europe that ensure us the best reproducibility and quality of our subsystem components. All systems are integrated and calibrated in our own facilities.
