Microfluidics community in the Netherlands enables breakthroughs in laboratory research, life sciences and process industry

摘要

Controlling and handling of liquids is in the blood of the Dutch. This is true when it comes to either huge infrastrac-tural constructions such as the Afsluitdijk or the Maeslant Storm Surge Barrier or when it comes to the handling of very small quantities of liquid or gas. In either case, the Dutch excel in this domain. The Dutch Association for Microsystems and Nanotechnology MinacNed (www.minacned.nl) and the business cluster Microfluidics NL bring together Dutch specialist organisations in the area of microfluidics. Together they cover the complete microfluidic technology value chain from component level through to system applications.
