PDMS Lab at DTU Nanolab
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), also known as silicone, has become a fundamental material for fabricating microfluidic devices with applications in health, chemistry, biomedical sciences and more.
DTU Nanolab has a dedicated laboratory for the processing of PDMS and fabrication of microfluidics located in building 347. The PDMS Lab is part of the PolyFabLab and has been equipped with brand-new instruments funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, alongside selected equipment and processes from previous facilities.
