Micro-Fabrication

The Micro Fabrication Core Technology Platform has the equipment necessary to perform lithography for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfabrication.

Researchers are utilizing this CTP to build microfluidic platforms for high-throughput drug screening, develop ultrasensitive point-of-care diagnostic chips for early detection of cancer and other diseases, design chips to isolate fetal cells from maternal blood and create portable platforms for monitoring the quality of water in developing and developed countries.
