Microfluidic characterization

The basic understanding and the optimization of microfluidic systems require a fundamental theoretical system description as well as a precise experimental characterization.

In this respect, HSG-IMIT provides an excellent infrastructure. Several laboratories with versatile equipment enable the characterization of microfluidic systems and components. Available equipment includes:

• Flow and pressure sensors
• Pressure controllers
• Multichannel high precision syringe pumps
• Micro scales
• Contact angle measuring instruments
• Climate chambers
• Light microscopy and confocal laser microscopy
• Stroboscopic and high-speed cameras
• Thermo cameras
• Laser Doppler vibrometers (LDV)
• High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
