Glass Microfluidics – Harvesting the Power of MEMS Technology For Non-CMOS Compatible Materials From Prototyping to Volume Manufacturing

Tobias Bauert, Business Development Manager Life Sciences, IMT Microtechnologies

The way scaling up from proof-of-concept prototypes to the lab-on-a-chip application in large quantities is full of challenges. The overall complexity is addressed for glass microfluidics by transferring protocols, processes and equipment available in the MEMS industry into the field of microfluidics. The scalability of these processes from single wafer to large volumes is the key to a smooth scale-up with little surprises.
