Our contribution focuses on what we do best: microfluidics. Together with our consortium partners, and leveraging on and expanding our glass microfabrication technologies, we are developing an advanced microfluidic chip designed to transform the way these pollutants are analyzed.

Using microfluidic expertise to reduce plastic pollution

Every day, enormous amounts of plastic are used—and far too much of it ends up in our oceans as microplastics and nanoplastics. But plastics aren’t the only concern. A wide range of harmful chemicals, known as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), also enter marine environments daily. Together, these pollutants pose a growing threat to marine life, ecosystems, and ultimately human health.

At Micronit, we believe in taking action. That’s why we became part of OneBlue Consortium—An Integrated approach bringing together consortium members and working closely with leading marine research institutes to assess the levels and impact of contaminants of emerging concern on BLUE health and biodiversity modulated by climate change drivers.

Our contribution focuses on what we do best: microfluidics. Together with our consortium partners, and leveraging on and expanding our glass microfabrication technologies, we’re developing an advanced microfluidic chip designed to transform the way these pollutants are analyzed. By enabling remote sample preparation and enrichment, our technology will make it dramatically easier for researchers to monitor and understand these contaminants and their effects on biodiversity.
