June 10, 2014 ALine’s tool box of engineered components speeds development and lowers risk in microfludic chip development. This was the theme of a talk presented at the Biodetection Technologies Conference in Baltimore, MD. For applications where low risk, robust performance and reliability are a must, our on-board pneumatically actuated valves and pumps are well-characterized and have been used for nearly ten years for Lab-on-a-Chip applications. The microfluidic chip, the M2D2, meters, mixes, debubbles, and dispenses with control from either an 8 or 12 channel pneumatic instrument, the ADEPT, a microfluidic testing and development platform.
