Vitra UMF

Specimens suitable for study in the field of microfluidics.

Specimens suitable for study in the field of microfluidics.

Vitra UMF is a material developed and created in the chemical laboratory of DWS.

 Thanks to its intrinsic characteristics and the right degree of transparency, it is suitable for making specimens for the study of microfluidics, obtaining channels of up to 300 micrometres.

Microfluidics is the science that deals with systems that process small quantities of liquids, using channels of tens or hundreds of micrometres in size.
