Dolomite Expands UK Microfluidics Team Microfluidics experts Dolomite have announced the expansion of their Royston based engineering team. In response to the worldwide growth in demand for their 'lab on a chip' technology, Dolomite has taken on the expertise of four additional science based engineers to help meet customer demand. Microfluidics is an emerging field of science and engineering that enables very small-scale fluid control and analysis, allowing instrument and medical device manufacturers to develop smaller, more cost-effective and more powerful systems. |

With lab-on-a-chip technology, entire complex chemical management and analysis systems are created in a microfluidic chip and interfaced with, for example, electronic and optical detection systems. "It's an exciting time and we are seeing a lot of interest in our technology," said Gillian Davis, Commercial Director at Dolomite. "Having the additional engineering capability will help us to continue to work closely with our customers, helping them develop future instruments and medical equipment. The success of Dolomite has always been attributed to the level of scientific and engineering expertise that exists within the company. We have been careful to recruit similarly talented people who have experience and expertise that will complement the existing team and bring in new capabilities." |

Amongst the new Dolomite development team are Mark Daniels, a graduate of the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, Philip Green (fabrication engineer), Tim Atkins (mechanical engineer) and Paul Coupland (application specialist). |

"I'm very pleased to be a part of the Dolomite team," said Paul Coupland. "Much of the work that Dolomite is undertaking is quite pioneering. Microfluidics offers medical device manufacturers and scientific instrument developers great potential and at the Dolomite facility there is the capability to realise that potential. Also, the application fields of microfluidics are quite vast, so we are dealing with a great variety of scientists and engineers, both academic and industrial. Being a part of Dolomite is quite fascinating." |
