Industrial Microfluidics: Take a walk on the valve side

Abstract

Advanced Microfluidics SA (AMF) is a Swiss-based industrial partner that bridges the gap between laboratory research and industrial application by transforming complex microfluidic concepts into robust, market-ready systems. By replacing unreliable "spaghetti-like" tubing with integrated multilayer manifolds and miniaturized components, AMF provides the high specification, reliability, and safety needed for MedTech and diagnostic applications. Our core technology, including zero-dead-volume rotary valves and high-resolution programmable syringe pumps, provides the high-precision fluid control and near-pulseless flow stability essential for automating complex MedTech workflows through reliable, industrialized microfluidic solutions. Our commitment to provide industrial-grade standards helps the industry to de-risk their innovation journey, significantly accelerating the time to market for biotools and medical devices. Trusted by global international leaders, AMF has successfully deployed over 20,000 products to a diverse client base of more than 350 organizations worldwide.
