Microfluidic experimentation systems
Complete sample-handling platforms — storage, fluid control and on-board analytics — engineered to live inside strict mass, volume and spacecraft-interface budgets.
Microfluidics for space
From prototype
to orbit.
We design and build flight-ready microfluidics — the right material and method for the mission, engineered for the harshest environment there is.

Every method, engineered for orbit
Spaceflight rewards the right manufacturing choice. We bring the full toolkit — CNC machining, injection moulding, glass, PDMS and 3D printing — and pick the process that fits each payload’s materials, mass, volume and timeline.
From rapid prototypes to flight-ready, qualification-minded parts, we move complex fluid handling from concept to hardware that survives the harshest environment there is — where mass, volume and reliability are unforgiving.
Proven — and under NDA
We’ve already supported confidential, space-bound microfluidic programmes. Because that work is protected by NDA, we can’t show hardware or name partners here — but we can talk through what’s possible for your mission under agreement.
What we build for space
The categories below describe the kind of work we take on. Specific projects stay confidential.
Life science in altered gravity
Disc, chamber and test-strip designs for cell and embryo handling, gas exchange and fluid filling, built for microgravity and partial-gravity biology.
Assembly adaptation & miniaturisation
Bespoke adapters and housings that compress an existing fluidic stack into a more compact, lighter, space-efficient assembly — without forcing a full redesign.
Design for manufacture
We design for the process that fits — CNC, injection moulding, glass, PDMS or additive — re-architecting devices to cut cost and lead time without compromising flight quality.
Reinforced manifolds & cartridges
Microfluidic manifolds with metal reinforcement inserts, integrating functional components directly onto a cartridge while holding structural reliability for flight.
Flight-ready iteration
Fast prototype-to-flight loops: fillable, sealable, qualification-minded parts so your payload does more — with less mass, less volume and less time.
In orbit
Where our work goes to live.
Microfluidics built for the realities of life in space — confined, weightless and unforgiving.
More science. Less mass. Less time.
As demand for in-orbit research and manufacturing grows, lightweight, highly integrated fluidics will be a key enabler — for missions that need to do more, on tighter schedules and budgets. If you’re scoping a payload, we’d like to help.
