The artificial lung in the microfluidic chip

In cooperation with the Organs-on-Chip Technologies Lab headed by Prof. Olivier Guenat, from the University of Bern, Torson Injex AG was able to participate in the production of a complex microfluidic chip. The challenges were manifold, but the result was impressive. Precise micro injection molding to produce the smallest structures and the processing of sophisticated materials were required. The result is a microfluidic chip that enables the cultivation of human cells on a biological membrane. This showcase not only demonstrates progress in medical research but also emphasizes the innovative strength and future viability of cooperation between industry and research institutions.

The world of connectors can be complex, especially when it comes to sealing. In the design of connectors, we have often found that many of our customers have questions about IP protection classes and other topics. In this post, we aim to shed light on the subject and provide an overview of IP protection classes for connectors, highlighting important aspects for design.

DBüchi Labortechnik AG is a leading global supplier of laboratory technology solutions for research and development, quality assurance and production. Torson Injex AG supplies Büchi with a wide variety of injection molded components and customized multi-component solutions.

The Autodest sensor presented here is used for automatic optimization of distillation parameters and combines several interesting manufacturing technologies in one product.

ETH spinoff IDUN Technologies is developing soft, dry electrodes for long-term brainwave measurement. Torson Injex has accompanied the development of this sophisticated 2K injection molded component. Within a very short time, five iterations and a wide variety of material pairings were successfully implemented.

When developing new types of in-ear silicone shells, Sonova previously had to accept waiting times of up to six weeks for new prototypes. With Injex' additive tooling process, this time has now be reduced to a few days.

The two startups 2point Engineering and Injex collaborated on the development of a portable cooling vest. Using additively manufactured tooling, Injex first carried out a material test for laser welding trials and then manufactured a small series of 200 in injection molding.
