Our Technology
Integrated Pumping
BiFlow's microfluidic cartridges are equipped with integrated electrochemical micropumps that allow purely electrical control of fluid transport.
Integrated Heating
If heating is required for certain assay steps, tiny heating elements can be integrated into specific areas of the cartridge, using the same substrate as for the micropumps. In the video on the top of the page a heating element for hybridization on the sensor is placed in the front of the cartridge. In the video, the heating is vizualized by a color change of a thermochromic liquid in the heated front area of the cartridge.
Integrated Reagents
Our technology platform is capable of storing liquid and dry reagents. In the video, you can see the release of yellow dry "reagent" stored in a small porous frit on the left side. The release of the "reagent" is performed by rinsing a buffer through the porous material.
