Microfluidic ChipChop

Microfluidic ChipShop is a well-established, ISO-certified player in the microfluidics space, operating as a hybrid product and service company. It maintains a comprehensive catalog of standard microfluidic chips, accessories, instruments (like the ChipGenie®), and application kits for areas such as droplet generation, PCR, and cell culture. Alongside this product business, it generates revenue through custom product development and contract manufacturing services, serving clients from prototyping through to volume production. The company is deeply embedded in the European biotech ecosystem, actively participating in key industry events and collaborative R&D projects.

Expertise in design, prototyping, and volume fabrication of polymer-based microfluidic devices and Lab-on-a-Chip systems. Capabilities include a wide range of chip architectures (channels, chambers, droplet generators, cell culture), instrument integration (ChipGenie®), and access to materials like polymer substrates and adhesive foils for scalable manufacturing.

The competitive landscape includes other specialized microfluidic design and manufacturing firms (e.g., in Europe, the US, and Asia), as well as the in-house capabilities of large diagnostic and instrument companies. Microfluidic ChipShop differentiates itself through its extensive off-the-shelf catalog, which acts as a marketing tool and low-barrier entry point, combined with full-service, ISO-certified development and manufacturing from prototype to volume scale.
