Abstract

The Smaller Dimension – The Relevance of Nano-Scale Precision in Clinical Diagnostics

Magdalena Schimke, Sales Specialist, STRATEC Consumables GmbH

Microfluidics (10^-6) is nowadays well established in the world of clinical diagnostics and single cell analysis. Many novel applications however strongly benefit from nano-scaled (10^-9) structural features and precision to allow analysis of rare biomarkers or phenotypical single-cell characteristics. We will discuss examples of both aspects and display the mitigation of challenges in upscaling such high-accuracy consumables.
