NIST: Promoting U.S. Innovation and Industrial Competitiveness Focus on Microfluidics Clara Asmail Technology Marketing Program Manager Technology Services National Institute of Standards and Technology U.S. Department of Commerce
2
NIST patented technologies to be presented tonight : Microfluidics portfolio Simple High-Performance Biochemical Analysis Methods For Polymer Microfluidic Fabrication Microfluidic Mixing And Flow Manipulation Uniform Assembly Of Nanoliposomes Surface immobilization of biopolymers
3
What are Microfluidics? Precise control and manipulation of very small fluid flows ~ on the order of microliters or nanoliters ** a drop of water is approximately 25 microliters
4
Microfluidics conserves costs in biomedical research Small volume of fluids in microfluidic channels translates to: Small amounts of reagents and analytes used & Integrated process steps – simpler, faster
