MICROLAB is a new VUB Core Facility, which will become operational second quarter of 2025.
It is a 300 m² class 1000 cleanroom, equipped with the latest-state-of-the art equipment for advanced microfabrication of glass and silicon. It is an open access facility supporting both the research community and industry in the development of microfluidic devices for medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications.
MICROLAB is located at the VUB Etterbeek Campus, Centre of Brussels, Belgium.
Please note this website is still under construction.
