FLOW ALLIANCE MEMBERS
Innovative Lab-on-a-chip and MEMS solutions using micro- and nanotechnologies
Micronit was founded in 1999, with an initial focus on the miniaturization of devices using microtechnology. Currently, Micronit is the world leader in the field of innovative lab-on-a-chip and MEMS solutions that utilize micro- and nanotechnologies. Micronit offers a unique combination of microfluidics and MEMS expertise, from design to prototyping to manufacturing; materials, from glass to polymers, in silicon or hybrid combinations, and application know-how.
Specialist in custom-made development and manufacturing of polymers and assemblies
Established in 1939, Helvoet Rubber & Plastic Technologies is internationally active in the custom-made development and manufacturing of precision rubber and plastic components and assemblies. Helvoet’s competitive advantage lies in the engineering and manufacturing of functional parts and modules for use in various application areas and markets. For assembled products, the application of innovative rubber, plastic, and assembly technology plays a prominent role.
YOU CAN RELY ON US FOR SMART POLYMER AND HYBRID MICROFLUIDIC TECHNOLOGIES AND VOLUME MANUFACTURING FOR YOUR FURTHER BUSINESS SUCCESS
MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS
With the help of microfluidics, science has managed to realise major breakthroughs in the areas of healthcare and life sciences. Think of in-vitro diagnostics, point-of-care diagnostics, food safety, environmental testing, development of medicines and so forth.
POLYMER FOR HIGH VOLUMES
Many instrument makers opt for a polymer-based microfluidic consumable centred around costs and scalability. However, the road from first prototype to high-end volume manufacturing requires a thorough knowledge of microfluidics and materials. That’s our world and we’re happy to assist you in the development and manufacturing of your high-volume, polymer-based microfluidic consumable.
COMPETENCES TO SUPPORT YOU
The Flow Alliance is at your side during every stage of your polymer-based microfluidic consumable project. Combining innovation and creativity with a robust development process to maximize the use of our proven technologies. With the combined expertise of our three-member companies forming a sturdy base, we can collaborate easily with you to develop your consumable with your goals and scalability in mind.
HOW WE WORK
Our competences are drawn together by design, injection molding tooling and process development, prototyping, delivery of validation samples, and high-volume manufacturing.
The scope of a project is determined by what is best for you. From a molded substrate to a complete consumable including reagents, biomarkers, etc.
One of the three-member companies will be your point of contact, making it clear and easy for you. Our way of working is valued as friendly and professional.
