Speaker: Tamma M. Kaysser-Kranich, Ph.D.
VP, Chief Technology Officer, Applied Microarrays

Recorded: Lab-on-Chip & Microfluidics Congress, Coronado CA

I'll cover two main topics in this talk. I’ll spend a little bit of time introducing Applied Microarrays, in case you are not familiar with our capabilities. I’ll go also some the exciting evolution in our own business in becoming part of SCHOTT MINIFAB and what that means for what we can offer to IVD design development and manufacturing. 

Whether you are developing a glass biochip for inhouse use, or as a commercial product, cost-of-good (COGs) has always been at the top of consideration list. Key to managing COGs is the ability to keep costs as low as possible in small quantities whilst still taking advantage of economy of scale as demand increases. This is particularly challenging with customized glass chips.
