Ready-to-use
lab setups
We give you a head start with fast- and easy-to-handle acoustofluidic setups, even if you are new to the field.
Full waferscale microfabrication
With our techniques, your acoustofluidic application will be reliable, scalable and cost-efficient. Avoid the drawbacks of PDMS.
Highest geometry precission
We deliver the high geometry precision and repeatability for a proper function of your acoustofluidic system.
From prototype to series production
We offer acoustofluidic microchip fabrication from prototyping to small series and mass production.
Chips and wafers: Customized manufacturing
We are specialized in the design and manufacturing of integrated acoustofluidic chips with our patented waferscale microfabrication technique. Whether you are looking for a new acoustofluidic layout or improve existing ones, we have the expertise and resources to support you every step of the way. We also provide prototyping of passive microchannels and conventional waferscale masters for your soft-lithography approach.
