Combining the best of Microfluidics, AFM & Biology with FluidFM®
Go beyond in single-cell manipulation with FluidFM
Explore the FluidFM® resources for Life Sciences and Biology
The FluidFM technology addresses the most common challenges encountered in the research by combining the use of the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) for biology and life science applications. Nowadays, this technology is suited for a broad range of biological applications from single-cell adhesion, neurosciences to virology. The FluidFM technology supported technological innovations in fields such as CRISPR cell line engineering by speeding-up the cell line development with a direct intra-nuclear CRISPR-delivery.
