BlackHole Lab presentation:
BlackHole Lab has been created to provide turnkey soft lithography stations to research laboratories. In 2008, during their Phd in microfluidics, BlackHole Lab founders saw the need for numbers of laboratories to have their own microfabrication facilities in order to make their own chips quickly and easily. They developed in 2009 their first generation of softlithography station for researches institutes in Paris and Philadelphia. After several years of improvement, Black Hole lab now provide a full range of turnkey soft lithography station all over the world.
Usually microfluidic chips are made in a clean room but the purchase and maintenance of one is really expensive. So the tricky idea was to propose a set of equipment usable out of a clean room and with the same efficiency. BlackHole Lab offer well-thinking set which is working together to give the best answer for microfluidic fabrication. But it’s not limited to it and BlackHole Lab is still improving or adapting the offers to keep at the cutting edge of the technology. It has been done the choice to gather numerous PhD inside the company to be as close as possible of the researchers, like that the need is really understood and a real exchange on a wide range of subjects is possible. Finally, the BlackHole Lab dynamism enables to be really responsive and flexible to any researcher’s requests.
In one sentence, the aim of BlackHole Lab is to open the microfabrication and so the microfluidic to anyone.
