INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

Biotechnology & Functional Surfaces

We explore micro- and nanostructured surfaces for biological research applications. Behaviour must be established for each material, structure and experimental model.

Why it fits here

At cell scale, the shape of the surface is an experimental variable. Being able to define it repeatably makes the surface part of the method rather than a source of noise.

What changes for you

• Defined, repeatable surface structures.
• Channels and geometries for glass microfluidic devices.

Potential applications

Culture and research surfaces; microfluidic devices; control of surface interactions.

What needs to be validated

Reproducibility, comparators, stability and specific biological tests; no clinical claims.

Related technologies

• Laser microstructuring and micromachining

Each application needs specific validation. Qualification or commercial availability of the final product is not implied.
