Microfluidics Core FacilitySCIENTIFIC FACILITY FOR MICROFABRICATION AND MICROFLUIDICS
Microfluidics is an emerging field and is finding use in various disciplines. Starting from understanding flow mechanisms, to the generation of synthetic cells with droplet-based microfluidics, continuous flow microfluidics to complex organ-on-a-chip models. At the newly established Microfluidic Core Facility (µFlu CF) at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM) at the University of Heidelberg, we aim to provide this valuable tool to every interested research group in and around the Neuenheimer Feld.
In our µFlu CF, we will support researchers from the start by giving input to the project design, to the production of microfluidic chips up to conducting the experiments in our S1 and S2 Biosafety laboratories.
Additionally, we are offering an introduction to the microfluidic work flow, which includes the handling and usage of the microfluidic chips. These tasks can be fulfilled at the facility either independently or under supervision.
We have several instruments in our facility, which are used by the staff to fabricate microfluidic devices ranging from 5µm up to 3mm with different techniques. Hereby, we are not only concentrating on the generation of PDMS-based microfluidic chips, but also on the application of nested glass capillary-based devices or 3D printed devices and structures.
To start a collaboration with the Core Facility, simply write an email to Dr. Sadaf Pashapour, with a short description of the project.
