Technology Development

Novel tools and technologies often lead to scientific discoveries that are otherwise difficult to attain. Sometimes these new tools can also bring about societal benefits through commercialization. A significant effort in the group is centered around engineering innovative microfluidic technologies and developing software tools for high-volume image processing. Below is a list of the technologies and tools that have been developed or are under development. If you are interested in using our microfludic devices for research, please send an email request to siva.vanapalli@ttu.edu. If you are interested in translating these technologies to the market place, contact orc@ttu.edu
