The Bioanalytical Micro-Nano Devices research group at the NRC’s Medical Devices Research Centre develops rapid, point-of-care diagnostic tests and microdevices. These tools incorporate biosensors/biochips, microanalytics and microfluidics.
Our team can help your company design, demonstrate, and fabricate low-cost, polymer-based microfluidic devices, taking your project from the proof-of-concept phase all the way to producing high-volume prototype production runs. The NRC can use its highly customizable technology and its unique facilities to help you develop next-generation, point-of-care analysis devices that can isolate and identify clinically relevant targets such as DNA, RNA, proteins, or metabolites.
Facilities
The NRC is home to state-of-the-art equipment and proprietary knowledge in the design and fabrication of polymeric micro and nano devices. Our technologies include:
- hot-embossing nanoimprint lithography
- microinjection moulding
These facilities can create fully-functional lab-on-a-chip systems. Our specialized and integrated expertise in polymer materials can also help make your single-use microdevices more competitive and affordable.
