Design consultancy and multiphysics modelling for biomedical and microfluidic application

bionic surface technologies (BST) provides advanced design consultancy and multiphysics modeling tailored to biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, with a strong emphasis on microfluidic system development. Leveraging our in-house high-performance computing infrastructure and decades of CFD expertise, we support our clients in accelerating device innovation and optimization.

Core Capabilities

• Multiphysics Modeling & Simulation

  • Coupled flow, particle/bead transport, and species diffusion

  • Heat transfer, conduction, and radiation in micro-environments

  • Vibration and acoustic actuation for advanced fluid manipulation

• Microfluidic Design & Optimization

  • Passive Flow Control: Capillary-driven transport, meniscus dynamics, uptake efficiency, stop-valves, and integrated mixing strategies

  • Active Flow Control: Rinsing and emptying processes, contact angle dynamics, and controlled fluid displacement

  • Bubble Formation & Prevention: Simulation of interface stability and defect analysis to ensure robust device performance

  • Particle & Droplet Behavior: Tracking of beads, cells, and molecules with Brownian motion effects, droplet dispensing, and surface coating (e.g., microwells, plasma-treated substrates)

• Biomedical Device Applications

  • Blood pumps: modeling of laminar–turbulent transition, non-Newtonian rheology, Fahraeus-Lindqvist effects, and micro/nano functionalization

  • Sensing platforms: optimization of blood uptake and sample transport for lab-on-chip diagnostics

  • Bioreactors and fermenters: multiphase modeling of mixing, scaling behavior, and shear rates to support drug and cell culture applications
