Basically, any application is of interest. The main target is applications within biotechnology research such as sequencing of genomes, high throughput screening, point-of-care diagnostics, single cell manipulation and diagnostics, DNA analysis and cell-culturing to mention a few. Other applications are also highly appreciated.
Overall, submissions will be judged within the following overall criteria:
- The business potential of your innovation
- The contribution your research has on public health, environment, and support to sustainable living
- Convincing arguments that our all-plastic chips solve a problem that cannot be solved without the use of micro-nano technology
- Your ability to generate results with the chip
- The potential of your innovation to go to scale
- Time to market/impact
The most important criteria is that you can motivate that an all-plastic chip with micro- and nanostructures can make a significant contribution to your R&D work.
