In researching microfluidics companies to add to the list, I’ve realized that outside of academia almost no one uses the term BioMEMS when discussing microelectromechanical systems applied to biology. Instead it’s “microfluidics” or “lab on a chip.” The term BioMEMS is a spin-off of the acronym MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), itself a term that has not [...]
FluidicMEMS is…
a blog about microfluidics and bioMEMS technologies and how they can help solve real-world problems. Written by Lily Kim, a biomedical-engineer-turned-technology-strategist, FluidicMEMS covers new developments fresh from academia as well as the process of bringing these technologies into the world.
