Dolomite are fast becoming a world leader in the development and manufacture of the microfluidic chips and connectors that are used in such industries as drug discovery, drug delivery, forensics and clinical diagnostics.

An alternative approach to formulation and accelerated feasibility testing is being launched by contract research organisation Melbourn Scientific, which is well respected for its analytical services. For the first time companies will be able to access an integrated package of formulation, method development, analysis and short-run clinical manufacture from the fully independent CRO.

Dolomite have announced that they are collaborating with Nano Fusion Technologies (NFT), in the application of electro-osmotic micro pump technology for use in microfluidic applications. This collaboration will enable the development of very small scale pumping systems for use in such areas as drug delivery, drug discovery, point of care systems and a broad range of biotech applications.

Dolomite's congifurable microfluidic pump with the facility to create unique flow profiles provides important contribution to the development of future microfluidic systems.

Dolomite continue to lead the emerging technology of microfluidics with the launch of the the Mitos microfluidic circular connector which offers fast, easy connection of up to eight high-pressure microfluidic channels, enabling scientists and chemists to exploit the benefits of microfluidic devices.

Microfluidics experts, Dolomite, in collaboration with the UK's National Centre for Atmospheric Science have announced the development of a new generation of microfluidics-based environmental testing equipment for use in air quality monitoring.

Dolomite succeeds in the development and fabrication of large-scale multi-layer microfluidic devices allowing instrument manufacturers to develop smaller, more cost-effective and more powerful systems.

Dolomite, a world leader in microfluidics design and fabrication will be exhibiting at the Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) show to be held in New York from the 3rd to the 5th June.
