Feasibility study for microfluidic separation device for biological fluids

The study requested is a preparation for a possible research and development project of a product that can perform fast separation and inactivation of biological fluids. Proteins, peptides and metabolites are rapidly degraded after extraction, which causes large problems for both academic and industrial protein research. In this study, Imego will investigate the feasibility of fabricating low-cost glass and polymer chips that combine microfluidic separation with Denator’s proprietary preservation technology.

The expected outcome is a thorough report on the state of the art on low-cost microfluidic chips that can be used for this application as well as a conceptual design for such a chip.
