By definition, a liposome consists of a lipid bilayer that encapsulates an aqueous phase. Liposomes are increasingly used to deliver drugs in a targeted and size-controlled manner. This is where microfluidics comes in. Indeed, the science of fluid handling systems is used for the extremely precise c … View All Blog

In most cases, it is possible to reuse a microfluidic chip several times. However, you should properly clean your chip after each use to avoid any loss of properties (e.g. coating), cross-contamination or clogging. For chips with complex structures (e.g. herringbone mixer), particles can easily get … View All Blog

Since microfluidic systems are used in many fields such as biology, chemistry and medicine, the stability and accuracy of fluid flow control is very important for microfluidic system applications. Depending on your needs, there are several ways to bring flow into a microfluidic system. The most wid … View All Blog

The subject of this review is to evaluate to what extent the true value of a characteristic can be measured. To answer this question, 2 criterias must be taken into account: the intrinsic characteristics of the instrument and the measurement process. Accuracy of the measuring process The measuring p … View All Blog

This application note uses flow accuracy measurement data from the Ismatec Reglo ICC peristaltic pump to show the impact of different tubing sizes and flow rates on the accuracy of the instrument, and pulsatility of the flow. Features of the Ismatec Reglo ICC peristaltic pump The principle of perist … View All Blog
