2013-02-14 06:38:16 - MiniFAB will exhibit at Molecular Med Tri-Con 2013 for the first time on 11-15 February in San Francisco, CA.

"MiniFAB uniquely combines innovative technology, creative, efficient design and precise volume manufacturing. The projects we're working on represent the next generation of point of care diagnostics, things like molecular and genomic diagnostics. It's a great time for our industry and 2013 has a lot of opportunities," says Dr Jason Hayes, MiniFAB’s Product Development Manager.
Jason and MiniFAB Co-Founder, Michael Wilkinson, will be talking with visitors about commercialisation of lab-on-chip diagnostics and the company’s design-formanufacture
approach.
“We’re at the show to talk with clients who use our capabilities. 100 nanometre tolerances in high volume injection moulding, precision metering and mixing of fluidic
streams with on-board reagent dispensing, we do all of this under the one roof and under ISO13485 procedures,” says Jason.
Visitors to MiniFAB’s booth

can see examples of custom microfluidic systems, developed for a range of applications, demonstrating:
Precision fluid handling capabilities (e.g. mixers and flow cells)
Integration of functional elements (e.g. sensors, electrodes, valves, filters and membranes)
A variety of substrate materials with a range of channel and feature sizes and complexity
Manufacturability of challenging features like flatness over large surfaces and high aspect ratio pillars
Concept demonstration prototypes
Examples of complete instrument-disposable systems
“It’s our first time at Tri-Con and we’re really looking forward to participating in this show. It brings together a large group of interesting people to talk about the critical challenges in turning concepts into products,” says Michael. “As sectors converge, there are many ways to learn and share, and this conference is a great setting for this interaction.”
“We see 2013 as a time with some very exciting opportunities and we’re at Tri-Con to connect the dots,” says Michael. MiniFAB is exhibiting at Booth #221 and is currently scheduling appointments.
