ALine has developed a fabrication method for rapid prototyping and volume manufacture of bio micro fluidic devices for applications in cell culture, medical diagnostics, laboratory and field research.

We can provide what injection molding and embossing in plastic, and etching in silicon cannot, enclosed channels and complex 3D structures in a biocompatible plastic device. Further, our ability to use a variety of materials, including porous membranes, flexible valves, recirculating pumps, and electrodes means we provide device developers with more functionality at a lower development cost.

Our experience with bio-compatible materials and our proven success with NASA in the development of a robust, functional fluidic system for autonomous cell culture in space, demonstrate our ability to deliver the right solution at the right time, no excuses.

Our goal is to provide molecular diagnostic product developers, researchers, and cell biologists, the high quality bio-compatible tools to take their research or product to the next level by implementing the advantages of bio micro technology in a user-friendly, cost effective format.

Our attention to quality, and our ability to manufacture in volume is demonstrated by our family of products for spectroscopy; the FluoroVette™, a microvolume, UV transparent cuvette for fluorescence of precious protein samples, and the SpecVette™, a short pathlength cuvette for measurement of opaque samples, where dilution would alter the absorption spectrum. All these products are available in two formats: 1) pipette interface for 50 µL samples using a pipetter, and 2) flowcell format for continuous monitoring.

Custom modifications of the FluoroVette with porous membranes have also provided an alternate platform for researchers to develop bead-based displacement assays in a convenient format that interfaces with most standard research-grade fluorimeters.
