Cellix

Cellix, an instrumentation company, is providing new and exciting microfluidic technology based solution in the areas of drug discovery, diagnostics and medical research. Stemming from a collaborative partnership between the Departments of Physics and Clinical Medicine in Trinity College Dublin, Cellix has developed and produced disposable biochips capable of mimicking human capillaries.

These biochips allow detailed dissection of disease processes at the cellular level where shear stress or continuous flow parameters are known to affect physiologic events. This innovation embodies the vista of microfluidics and nanotechnology furnishing the benefits of reduced sample and reagent volume (microlitre range), speedy assay time combined with the potential for automation and parallel processing.
