Glass Microfluidics: Driving Biotech Innovation at the 2025 Microfluidics Consortium Meeting

The Microfluidics Consortium Meeting 2025 is poised to become a milestone event in the microtechnology landscape, uniting pioneering researchers, biotech startups, and industry veterans in Lausanne, Switzerland, on April 8–9. Hosted at the AGORA Cancer Research Centre, this forum will focus on transformative breakthroughs in glass microfluidic devices (—a key enabler of next-generation biotech and medtech solutions.

Why Glass? The Strategic Advantages for Microfluidics (MF)

Glass is rapidly overtaking traditional materials like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polycarbonate, or silicon in lab-on-chip (LOC), point-of-care diagnostics (POC), organ-on-chip (OOC), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications. Its superiority lies in a combination of:

  • Optical transparency, ideal for real-time imaging, fluorescence detection, and microscopy.
  • Chemical inertness, ensuring compatibility with biological reagents and solvents.
  • High mechanical strength, supporting high-pressure microfluidic operations.
  • Biocompatibility, critical for cell culture and pharmaceutical testing.
  • Microscale precision, enabled by photolithography, ultrafast laser processing, and selective laser etching (SLE).

At FEMTOprint SA, we leverage our proprietary FEMTOPRINT® platform to deliver customized microfluidic glass chips—optimized for applications in diagnostics, drug discovery, and personalized medicine.

A Glimpse Into the Future of Microfluidics

With trends like personalized healthcare, liquid biopsy, and single-cell analysis (SCA) on the rise, the demand for scalable, high-precision microfluidic platforms is accelerating. Glass microfluidics is uniquely positioned to meet this demand, supporting use cases such as:

  • Cancer research – Early diagnosis via circulating tumor cell  isolation
  • Organ-on-chip models – Replicating human tissue response for preclinical testing
  • POC diagnostics – Portable systems for rapid, field-deployable assays

Join the Revolution in Microfluidics

If you're active in biotechnology, medical technology, or microfluidics research and development (R&D), the MF 2025 is an unmissable opportunity. Meet with the FEMTOprint SA team to:

  • Explore demonstrations of glass microfluidic innovations
  • Discuss collaborative projects or joint development
  • Discover how our monolithic 3D glass structuring technology can accelerate your roadmap
