Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), the specialist bionanotechnology product development consultancy, has expanded its capabilities for advanced prototyping with the commissioning of a new laser micro-machining system for fabricating features down to 5 microns in almost any solid material. The new system facilitates BNC’s rapid prototype fabrication capability for commercial organisations developing microfluidics and other novel biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Housed within the BNC’s new Imperial College London laboratories, the Oxford Lasers E-series laser micro-machining system is the latest asset in an investment of over £50m in facilities and equipment that backs the BNC’s world-leading product development capabilities.
