NIST: Promoting U.S. Innovation and Industrial Competitiveness Focus on Microfluidics Clara Asmail Technology Marketing Program Manager Technology Services National Institute of Standards and Technology U.S. Department of Commerce
NIST patented technologies to be presented tonight : • Microfluidics portfolio • Simple High-Performance Biochemical Analysis • Methods For Polymer Microfluidic Fabrication • Microfluidic Mixing And Flow Manipulation • Uniform Assembly Of Nanoliposomes • Surface immobilization of biopolymers
What are Microfluidics? • Precise control and manipulation • of very small fluid flows • ~ on the order of microliters or nanoliters • ** a drop of water is approximately 25 microliters
Microfluidics conserves costs in biomedical research • Small volume of fluids in microfluidic channels translates to: • Small amounts of reagents and analytes used • & • Integrated process steps – simpler, faster
Industrial Applicationsfor instrumentation suppliers Pharmaceutical & Biotech $600 B Diagnostics $30 B Medical Devices $200 B Drug Delivery $91 B (by 2009) $220 B (by 2015) Emerging Markets for Microfluidics ApplicationsGeraldine Andrieux Gustin Yole Development June, 2007
Microfluidics: Market size expectations 2005 global market for microfluidic technologies ~ $2.9B by 2011 should grow to ~ $6.2 B i.e., an average annual growth rate of 14.1% Microfluidics TechnologyBCC ResearchSeptember, 2006
Microfluidics: Critical market segments • drug discovery • drug delivery • in-vitro diagnostics • ink jet printing --- mature • chemical analysis • high-throughput screening
Microfluidics will enable efficient screening of moredrugs in less time and drastically cut down the costs of drug development.
