Dolomite has expanded its capabilities in glass to include plastic (polymer) microfluidic devices and chips.
By using plastic as an alternative to other materials such as glass, Dolomite is able to offer high volume, disposable microfluidic devices, which are suited to markets such as healthcare, where low-cost, single-use devices are essential.
Dolomite can provide microfluidic solutions for many different applications.
Working with companies to produce devices that are tailored to individual requirements, it has already brought down the cost of bespoke microfluidic system development by introducing a range of standard or 'off-the-shelf' products.
These include, chips, connectors/interconnect, pumps and other microfluidic devices.
Dolomite's polymer technologies include thermal bonding of polymer layers for chip fabrication, deposition of metal layers on polymer surfaces and the use of tapes to seal polymer devices.
The company offers its prototyping and production services through offices in the UK, US and Japan, and a global distributor network.
