 &lt;label&gt;Proposal for extended project to RAS:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 Yes
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;flexinode-textarea-33&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;form-item&quot;&gt;
 &lt;label&gt;Technology enquiry/solution sought:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

 &lt;label&gt;Technology enquiry/solution sought:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;The company searched BUTE, that it would like to produce microparts at the University. The problem was that we had to produce very small pieces. The biggest diameter of parts was 1.6 mm, and the length was 4 mm. We had to do two bores in the pieces. One of bores was 0.5 mm, and the other one was 0.7 mm. And we needed to keep the serious tolerance, for example concentricity.&lt;br /&gt;
The University was dealing with similar workpieces. The our tasks were the choice of tools, determination of technology and definition of proper manufacture parameters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;K.U.Leuven is one of the three divisions of the department of Mechanical Engineering. PMA is active in the following areas: manufacturing processes, machine and instrument design, structural dynamics, acoustics, CAD/CAM/CIM, robotics, assembly automation, mechatronics, micro- and precision engineering, and metrology. The PMA division work includes original fundamental work as well as successful industry-oriented projects carried out in collaboration with small, medium and large companies and with international  organisations like the European Space Agency. An important role of the research activities of the PMA division is based on international collaboration as shown by the participation of the division in more than 40 EC funded projects. The PMA division has also been nominated as Centre of Excellence by the Belgian Government.&lt;/p&gt;
