The strategic research centre PolyNano aims at becoming the Danish competence centre for production-ready fabrication of polymer, nano-scale lab-on-a-chip (LoC) devices. PolyNano will provide a competitive edge for Danish biotech companies launching LoC products, by removal of the technology barrier between lab-scale proof-of-principle and high-volume low-cost production of LoCs, and further enable new research by easy access to LoC technology.
The centre will exploit a unique combination of
-
technologies for polymer nanofabrication being micro-injection molding and nano imprint lithography
-
cutting edge biotech research within polymer single use LoCs for next generation sequencing of genomes, high throughput screening, point of care diagnostics, and cell-culturing
-
innovation and new product development from Danish biotech SMEs with large growth potential.
The project is funded by The Danish Council for Strategic Research for a period of 6 years from 2011-2016
