Microfluidic Systems Jobs and Profile

Founded in 2001, Microfluidic Systems specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples. The companies core technology is being used in the development of air monitoring systems for the next generation of the Department of Homeland Security’s Biowatch program. In addition to developing ruggedized outdoor air detection systems, the company is also developing an indoor air monitor and detection system for DHS.

Our microfluidic technology alleviates all existing problems by replacing robotics with integrated microfluidics, reducing cost and increasing reliability. Our microfluidic technology also automates and increases the effectiveness of key sample processing steps used today on the laboratory bench-top, into a closed automated system. The embedded devices perform cell lysis (including difficult spores) in less than 1 minute at low power, nucleic acid purification along with inhibitor removal and pre-concentration of the nucleic acids up to factors of 1000X within minutes. These processes all occur autonomously within a fully contained disposable microfluidic cartridge.
