Eindhoven, The Netherlands, July 16th, 2018 Micronit, Axxicon and Helvoet are proud to announce the launch of Flow Alliance, House of Microfluidics. The companies have been working together for two years. With this next step they emphasise their commitment towards providing a very strong package of development and manufacturing competences to support the growing global demand for high-quality high volume polymer microfluidic products. 

Meeting market demands

The market growth is driven by the development of new fast diagnostic systems entering the health care market. At the same time high volume test cartridges are needed for new tests in water quality monitoring, environmental testing and for fast and reliable controls and checks in the food production chain. Polymer-based microfluidics support these needs through upscaling and cost advantages.
