Biochip

IMT is one of the pioneers in the area of microfluidic glass components and biochips. As early as 1990, our technology allowed for the development of the first µTAS chip by Andreas Manz.
The combination of automated semiconductor processes with existing MEMS technology opens up brand-new possibilities for our customers.
There are even new fields of application in cost-sensitive areas, in which it has not previously been possible to consider optical glass.
