A recent agreement between Shrink Nanotechnologies and Corning now means Shrink will be able to offer Corning’s complete SmartBuild Plug-n-Play Modular Microfluidic System to researchers. This system enables the building of larger lab-on-a-chip devices by connecting multiple components together and was developed by Corning’s Po Ki Yuen and colleagues.
Shrink Nanotechnologies was founded by Michelle Khine. With fellow colleagues at the University of California she devized the ‘shrinky-dink’ technology for production of custom microfluidic devices in minutes.
