Foundry Services
We provide customised solutions for design, prototyping, production, and individual manufacturing processes for microfluidic devices.
Design
With our in-house design and modelling capabilities, we provide innovative solutions to achieve your expected results via optimal material choice, fabrication process, fluidic architecture, interfacing structure and packaging scheme.
Prototyping
Concept or design can be readily transformed into prototype using our in-house prototyping capability to rapidly test out your concept/design.
Production
The production service offered by the SMF helps companies to overcome high equipment, material and personnel overhead costs, and significantly shorten the time to market. Volume production of microfluidic devices can also be arranged.
