Fast. Affordable. Fully automated.

Use LabDisk technology to automate your laboratory workflow

We shrink your laboratory down to a desktop microfluidic platform

The scientists and engineers from DIALUNOX and Hahn-Schickard research institute  stuck their heads together in order to create a one-stop shop, offering the whole R&D workflow for development, test and pilot production for molecular diagnostics at the point-of-need.

What you get at the end is an intelligent, easy-to-use product capable of doing decentralized molecular analytics at the point where it is needed. From sample to answer. Just push a button and get your result.

Liquid handling and assay miniaturization: What is the challenge?

Our technology is aimed to solve the above-mentioned challenges by developing the LabDisk platform based on centrifugal microfluidics. This smart solution in the on-site molecular analysis will allow you to exactly match your needs.

  • Miniaturization: Enable analysis of small sample volumes.
  • Integration: Reduce your whole workflow on a small cartridge.
  • Multiplexing: Get approximately 30 analytes done simultaneously.
  • Automation:  Achieve by spinning and temperature control.

This is how your microfluidic platform works

  • Affordable and small-scale instruments
  • Ideal for decentralized testing
  • Easy-to-use and robust
  • Easy-to-manufacture cartridges
  • Low-cost and customizable due to only one micro-structured layer
  • All reagents are pre-stored
