Elvesys SAS
Elvesys is an innovative company who develop and provide microfluidic chip and scientific instruments for microfluidic researches. With 10 researchers in microfluidic, Elvesys now propose the world widest brand of microfluidic flow control products. Through its brand Elveflow, Elvesys is the world leader for high precision microfluidic flow control instruments. The second main mission of Elvesys is to enhance the technological transfer of microfluidic innovations from research laboratories to the market.
Expertise
Elvesys is specialized into microfluidic flow control, microfluidic device fabrication, optical systeme for microfluidic and microfluidic setup for cell biology research.
Facilities
ELVESYS have more than 300 m2 of Lab facilities for microfluidic and flow control instrument development. Elvesys also have soft lithography facilities for microfluidic device fabrication. The company is equipped with electronic test bench, mechanical engineering facilities, molecular biology bench and microscopy equipment.
Role in project
The aim of our PhD is to develop a complete microfluidic platform to quickly screen numerous proteins of interest during the same experiment and to allow for the sequential addition of different proteins and components to the microfluidic sample cell. Erasmus MC is coordinator for DNA Repairman, and is responsible for the daily management of the project.
Elvesys will also be in charge of entrepreneurship training of ESR student of the consortium and evaluate valorization opportunity.
