VUB µFlow Cell starts cooperation with UHasselt IMO-IMOMEC, Voxdale, B4Plastics and InOpSys in a 3-year ICON project to develop a novel sensor platform for online monitoring of micropollutants such as EDCs and PFASs. The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) technology of the team of Prof.

While the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) is banning the use of fluorochemicals because of their detrimental effects on the environment and health, the European Commission (EC) has launched the European Chips Act to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to Europe.

We are happy to share that VUB has awarded 3 UNIVERSITAS scholarships to further intensify our cooperation with CUHAS in Tanzania. It will allow 1 master and 2 PhD students to come to Belgium and obtain their degree at VUB. Together with the School of Public Health of Prof.

The µFlow Cell of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is happy to share that it is a subcontractor of Redwire Space NV in a 14 million euro contract to design, develop, and qualify the 3D BioSystem on the International Space Station (ISS).

Vortex Technology makes uses of external forces (electric or acoustic) to induce vortices in microfluidic channels. It was developed and patented by the µFlow Cell team of prof. Wim De Malsche as part of his ERC Starting Grant project EVODIS.

With support of VLIR-UOS, a team of µFlow Cell travelled to Ethiopia to install the SIMPAQ (Single Image Quantification of Parasites in Stool) at the parasitology lab of Jimma University.
