Miniaturised laboratories, so-called microfluidic "lab-on-a-foil" chips, are becoming increasingly important for medical applications, food and feed analyses, environmental monitoring and the local on-demand production of pharmaceuticals. As part of the project, the cost-effective and scalable production of chips is being developed with customers for their applications.
At the same time, the "Microfluidics Innovation Hub“ is being established, a European network that offers small and medium-sized companies access to microfluidics experts and implementation options from development to production, including the involvement of investors. This central point of contact, combined with the team's expertise, strengthens Austria's position and competitiveness in the rapidly developing field of microfluidics.
