Deep dive into Lab-on-Chip: Microfluidic applications in nanotechnology

The Netherlands has the opportunity to become a world leader in the development of Lab-on-Chip (LoC) technologies, according to the latest report from Invest-NL’s Deep Tech Fund. These technologies enable the miniaturization and automation of complex laboratory processes, which could lead to breakthroughs in areas such as personalised healthcare and real-time environmental analyses. However, the report highlights a critical funding gap and regulatory obstacles hindering scale-up. Invest-NL advocates for a MedTech fund and European standardisation to pave the way for economic and social impact.
