In conventional microfluidic manufacturing, each production unit needs its own pump, its own tubing, its own connections. Like early telephone switchboards, every new line requires manual wiring.
Each additional unit needs its own pump and plumbing. Complexity, cost, and failure points grow with every step.
Simple. Clean. Works at lab scale.
Double everything. Double cost, double failure points.
Hundreds of pumps, chips, tubes. Quality control impossible. Cost prohibitive.
Borrowing from semiconductor logic, VLSMI integrates more units onto the chip itself. Throughput increases. Pumps stay the same. Tubing stays the same. Quality stays identical.
Very Large Scale Microfluidic Integration
Thousands of microfluidic devices. One chip. One name.
The platform stays the same. Swap the generator for your application.
Originally developed at the University of Pennsylvania in 2018, the VLSMI platform has been refined through multiple generations. One chip. One inlet. One outlet. Thousands of identical particles.
From discovery through commercial GMP, VLSMI grows with you.
