Innoviris has approved a 1 million euro grant to support vortex chromatography innovation by a multidisciplinary team of VUB, ULB and UZ Brussel researchers, coordinated by the µFlow Cell.
Vortex chromatography makes use of externally induced lateral flows to enhance separation performance in miniature systems, which can be used in analytical labs, but also for patients in a point-of-care setting. The complex separation of haemoglobin in its genetic variants for better diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes is one of the target applications, that will be developed in close collaboration with UZ Brussel.
Innoviris is the public organisation that funds and supports research and innovation in the Brussels-Capital Region.
