Unicamp chemistry group uses 3D printing to miniaturise analyses and spins off a company
A research group at Unicamp's Institute of Chemistry is building 3D-printed devices for miniaturised chemical analysis, and its work has already led to a company based at Unicamp Park.
Why it matters: Unicamp's Institute of Chemistry has research from its GEM group that has already produced a company now located at Unicamp Park.
Inova Unicamp, the innovation agency of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil, reported that the Electrophoresis and Analytical Microsystems Group (GEM) at the university's Institute of Chemistry uses 3D printing to miniaturise chemical analyses.
According to Inova Unicamp, the group develops devices that it describes as having market potential.
Inova Unicamp said the group's work has already given rise to a company that is installed in the Unicamp Park (Parque da Unicamp).
