Microfluidic Biosensors Developed for Diagnostic Devices

This biosensor technology has multiple applications and has already been evaluated for use in the environmental and food quality assurance sectors for detecting such contaminants as mycotoxins and drug residues.

Using micro- and nano-engineering, the MiniChemLab family of systems is an integrated platform to be used by biosensor assay developers wishing to optimize system specifications to realize commercial point-of-use diagnostic instrumentation.

Minifab CEO, Erol Harvey, said, "We have been impressed at the robustness and great sensitivity of the low cost biosensor technology. The simplicity of the electrochemical sensor easily allows it to be integrated into our polymer microfluidic systems.”

Commenting on why Sensortec has chosen Minifab to work with, Duncan Purvis said, "Minifab has a well demonstrated rapid-prototyping technology for polymer microfluidics which easily translates into low-cost high-volume production.”
