Microfluidics and Bio-integration
Microfluidics and Bio-integration
From microneedles, through microfluidic and Lab-on-a-chip systems to bio-integration and instrumentation, draw on a wealth of experience within INTEGRAMplus to meet your requirements.
*
  • Polymer Microfluidics Prototyping and Manufacture
    The Fluence™ Microfluidic Tool Kit provides an effective decisionmaking tool for product and process developers working on microchemical and microbiological applications. The polymer micromachining service includes:
    • Fixed price Fluence™ Microfluidic Toolkit comprising baseboard and chip package with design rules
    • Custom microfluid chips with options for multilayers, electrode layers, silicon device integration, etc
    • Catalogue chip designs, including heater chips and fluidic handling components
*

Custom Fluence™ chips can be made to customer-supplied chip design, or alternatively INTEGRAMplus can assist with the design and perform volume manufacture of a range of microfluidic designs.
*
  • Rapid Lab-on-chip Prototyping
    Access ‘1-week-2-chip’ rapid prototyping services and complete a design cycle from idea to tested design within one week. Use this capability for developing Lab-on-a-Chip systems, focusing on bioanalytical and microfluidics, including design, simulation and prototyping using laser ablation and ultra-precison milling.
*

This service establishes an efficient route to sensitive clinical and industrial applications demanding a rapid development with the following advantages:

  • a multi-disciplinary project team
  • support by mathematical modelling
  • rapid prototyping of test chips
  • a standardised platform for evaluation and testing
*
  • Functionalisation of Surfaces for Bio-integration
    Design, fabrication, deposition and characterisation of bio-materials and microelectrodes on silicon, glass or polymer substrates for bio-sensing applications.
*

Additional Services and Combined Platforms
*
  • Hollow Waveguide hybrid and monolithic integration platform
    The optical equivalent of the PCB, providing ease of alignment and optical component placement. The waveguides support low loss, broad band single or multimode propagation and can also act as fluidic channels which may be functionalised for bio-sensing applications.


  • High precision fibre pigtailing service
    A low-cost alternative to laser welding for both single and multimode fibres including optical and submount design, precision adhesive bonding, prototypes and low-volume production.


  • DirectWrite Lithography service
    Uses raster technology to image on silicon, glass, photo-sensitive film etc for semiconductor mask production and high precision applications.
