Q Chip has developed microfluidic devices (Microplant™), for the design and production of dosed polymer microspheres for life science applications. Microplants enable microsphere production from a range of polymers, with a tight size distribution and uniform dosing.

Custom polymer microfluidic chips allow bespoke chemical processing.
