Scalable Micro Structuring of Glass for Microfluidic and Photonic Applications

Microfluidics and optical technologies each offer powerful capabilities for advanced analytical and diagnostic methods in the life sciences. When combined, they enable the creation of compact, highly sensitive, and high-throughput lab-on-a-chip systems. Glass is a particularly compelling material for such hybrid systems due to its excellent optical properties, chemical and thermal stability, and its compatibility with high-precision microfabrication. 

In this presentation, we demonstrate how leveraging standard semiconductor manufacturing processes allows for the cost-effective production of innovative glass components tailored for life science applications. These components can be manufactured at any scale—from initial prototyping to full-scale production—unlocking new possibilities for research and life science industries.
