There is often a broad spectrum of approaches available for instrumentation. Very often, an approach ideal for one application will not be ideal for the next. The ability to design an instrument that delivers the best outcome for an application is a challenging aspect. This is especially pertinent when developing instrumentation that work at the micro and nano scale

We seek to develop better methods, assays, and procedures that enable analysis of substances found in living organisms and the chemical reactions underlying life processes.

Our quest to find novel methods to move particles and cells around to accomplish important functions.

The natural outcome of experimentation where we produce more advanced sensors, actuators, processors, and software.
