UCLA Bioengineers Use 3D Printing to Create Microfluidics for Medical Microchip Marketing and Content

by Medical

The bioengineers in Dino Di Carlo’s lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, spend a lot of time wrapped in head-to-toe suits and looking a bit jaundiced. The engineers work in a clean room, where a steady flow of filtered air removes particulates. Blue or purple light would harden the photosensitive material with which they work, so they limit lighting in the room to butter-yellow.
