IVAM Microtechnology Network
memetis GmbH develops and manufactures ultra-compact miniature valves and highly integrated microfluidic systems. Innovative actuator technology based on shape memory alloys ensure increased miniaturisation of fluidic components and systems and a resulting high packing density. Especially applications in the Life Sciences benefit from more compact fluidics systems, e.g. to enable the use at the Point-of-Care with portable devices. Our goal is to contribute to faster and more convenient diagnostics and bioanalytics.
Miniature valves save valuable installation space and increase functionality. Above all, the possibilities of decentralized application are playing an increasingly important role. A diagnosis in the home environment or flexible work in the laboratory - from the microscope to the incubator - portable devices are indispensable.
The microvalves with shape memory actuators from memetis offer decisive advantages:
Our valves are available in different versions, e.g. monostable or bistable. We offer valve evaluation kits for easy integration into your existing systems, which include an easy-to-use electrical control unit and a fluidic adapter in addition to the valves.
Numerous applications require a high degree of portability of the equipment while at the same time taking specific requirements into account. This applies in particular to analytics and diagnostics, where fluidic systems are worn directly on the patient or analysis chips must be microscopable directly in the system.
We have made it our business to meet these requirements and always supply the appropriate fluidic system. Our expertise in the field of microsystems technology enables us to use our own developed miniature components (e.g. miniature valves) as well as the customer-specific implementation of fluidics logics in a highly portable format. A high vertical range of manufacture further enables us to produce quickly in-house. Requests for electrical control can also be flexibly taken into account.
Tightly packed, memetis miniature valves are particularly suitable for valve arrays. These are used in a wide variety of applications.
We accompany you from the idea to series production and develop customer-specific fluidic solutions.
The actuators built into the valves are also used in other industries and applications. Wherever movement in a small installation space is required, shape memory actuation can be a potential solution.
Our actuator technology is already used in the model trains, in the field of optics or in locking mechanisms. We would be happy to check the feasibility of your application with shape memory actuators.
