Microfabrication of microstructured substrates

With PRIMO photopatterning technology, create your microstructured substrates with all the geometries and topographies you can imagine, including micro-pillars, micro-wells or grooves.

Use PRIMO to structure photosensitive resins and create reusable molds on which you can polymerize your favorite material, and thus create your own microstructured substrates.

And to go even further, you can then micropattern biomolecules on your substrates to combine biochemical and topographic control.
