Input
Device concept, assay protocol, or chip geometry
We organize key requirements such as sample volume, reagent order, tubing path, timing, pressure, flow, and user handoff.
Microfluidics automation
Translate microfluidic protocols into automated, easier-to-run workflows.
MicroCD Labs helps teams plan cartridge loading, liquid handling, adapter geometry, reagent paths, and user-facing operation for research-use microfluidic devices.
Focus areas
Liquid-handler integration, SBS-style adapters, chip nests, protocol translation, demo workflows, and simplified operator steps.
Manual setup to guided operation
Microfluidic automation starts by making the protocol visible.
The meeting feedback points to a clear need: users want microfluidics as a tool, not a physics puzzle. MicroCD Labs helps define the steps, parts, coordinates, timing, and interface logic needed to make a workflow easier to run.
Robotic loading
Chip adapters
Reagent volumes
Deck positions
Valve sequences
Demo workflows
Integration
Adapter, fixture, and automation planning
Map cartridge placement, access points, liquid-handler compatibility, custom racks, and workflow constraints before build.
Output
Demo-ready workflow language
Produce a clearer operating story for customers, partners, internal engineers, and future prototype demonstrations.
Capabilities
Where MicroCD Labs can help
Automation support can start as a technical review, design sketch, partner discussion, or structured protocol package.
