Hyphenated Systems, Purdue Microfluidics Collaborate

Hyphenated Systems LLC, a provider of hybrid microscopy products for 3-D imaging and metrology in micro- and nanotechnology, will partner in a project with Purdue University’s Microfluidics Laboratory in West Lafayette, Ind. The laboratory will use the Burlingame, Calif., company’s 3Dmap (microfluidics analysis platform) to characterize structure in advanced microfluidic devices and to develop techniques to characterize fluid flow through these structures. The platform uses confocal microscopy to visualize and measure 3-D structure with submicron resolution. It is expected to enhance the laboratory’s research and commercial capabilities and to provide information to Hyphenated Systems concerning the needs of the industry.

There are 279 suppliers of Microscopy in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

metrology: Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
microfluidics: Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the manipulation and control of very small fluid volumes, typically in the microliter (10-6 liters) to picoliter (10-12 liters) range, within channels or devices with dimensions on the microscale. It integrates principles from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biotechnology to design and fabricate systems that handle and analyze fluids at the micro level. Key features and aspects of microfluidics include: Miniaturization:...
nanotechnology: The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
