FLEXDYM, the material revolution for microfluidics

Project description

A new biocompatible polymer for microfluidics

The market for microfluidic devices all over the world was worth USD 3.6 billion in 2017, and it is poised for a double digit growth by 2022. This growth is likely to be driven by the rising demand for point-of-care devices and polymerase chain reaction chips. France-based company Eden Tech aspires to implement elements of the 'Factory of the Future', counting on proprietary advanced materials for microfluidics, microfabrication machines and design services for end users. The company has patented its first biocompatible polymer, Flexdym, which is particularly well-suited for microfluidics in biological applications. The EU-funded FLEXDYM project is supporting this unique technology, which could boost microfluidics device production, helping bridge the existing gap between academia and industry.
