Cost effective consumables in glass




With more than 50 years of experience in the fields of optics and metrology IMT is well positioned in the intersection of microfluidic and photonics to act as a development partner as well as a large scale manufacturer of glass consumables for microfluidic and biophotonic applications, e.g. LOAC, DNA analysis, microarrays, single cell analysis.
We are able to fulfil the complex technical requirements by applying our expertise in microstructuring and miniaturisation to meet the need for continuously smaller and more complex (sub-) microstructures on and in glass as well as optical coatings.
By implementing automated equipment from the semiconductor industry we achieve economies of scale hitherto unreached in the field of consumables in glass.
Competences include:
Nano- and Micro-structures on and in glass;
microchannels; through-holes;
(integrated-) electrodes and wave-guides;
patterned metallic and di-electric optical coatings;
photo-structurable coatings;
Fusion-, adhesive-bonding;
Glass machining;
In-house manufacture of photomasks;
Fully automated process line for 200mm wafers;
100 employees;
1300 m2 clean room
