Dear Dr. Nastruzzi,

do you know the microfabrication laboratory of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento? We have some experience in microfluidic device fabrication. Please give a look: http://mtlab.fbk.eu

Thank you for your kind reply.

Yes I know the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento. Few years ago I also visited the labs, with the aim to start some collaborative projects but I never had any positive feed back from them (I have sent some projects for chip fabrication). Probably my requests get lost in some way ....

Hello Dr. Nastruzzi

Waht kind of chip material you are specifically looking for? at our lab (Dept. of Chemistry, SFU, canada) we fabricate PDMS chips using soft lithography for a variety of biomedical applications? is that what yo u are looking for?

Hi Abootaleb

Yes I am looking for PDMS chips but also glass would be a choice for certain particular applications.

Dear Professor Nastruzzi,

the research group I work for has been working for many years in microfluidic devices both on glass / silicon or on polymer substrates or hybrid devices. If you browse the following link:

you will find all the information about our activities.

greetings

Dear Professor Nastruzzi,

Our lab at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, is working on a new micromachining technology for glass (and other hard/brittle materials). You can have a look at: http://ege.encs.concordia.ca/ for more info about our research areas.

We're able to modify the glass surface and to get high aspect ratio microholes/channels with almost no HAZ. Actually, we're looking for applications for this technology (low cost, no cleanroom!), so we're highly interested in collaboration.

Thank you for your time,

Lucas Hof

Hi Lucas

Thank you for your reply. I would be very much interested in starting some collaborative projects aimed to test your glass micromachined microchip on our pharma/food applications.

Could you please provide me an e-mail contact to stay in touch more directly ?

Bye for now

Claudio

Hi Prof. Nastruzzi,

I send you my mailaddress and if we discuss about the desired design, we'd like to make a sample.

My mailaddress: [email protected].

Looking forward to hear from you,

Lucas

Dear Prof. Nastruzzi,

Fraunhofer IISB is running a Si (CMOS) and SiC wafer fab for research and prototyping of electron devices. In addition to conventional techniques we are working on/with Nanoimprint lithography and are experienced in processing of substrates like glass or polymers. Reference projects include the development of an microfluidic environmental TEM cell, PDMS lab samples for cell research, and the preparation of NIL stamps on glass and PDMS.

If you are interested I would be pleased to discuss you application(s) further. Please contact me at [email protected]

Kind regards,

Michael
