MiniFAB is committed to helping our clients achieve business success.
Overview
MiniFAB is a privately owned micro and nano fabrication company based in Melbourne, Australia. Established in 2002, MiniFAB’s business is the design, integration and manufacture of polymer micro-engineered systems for the biotech, health, agriculture, food, and environmental sectors.
Our unique design for manufacture approach enables for the simplified manufacturing of products using batch processing, minimal types of materials and reduced numbers of components. Our rapid turnaround development tools enable us to demonstrate and prove design concepts faster than anybody else in the industry.
MiniFAB’s nanotechnology expertise lies in the packaging and integration of micro and nano technologies into applications, such as applying nano-bio-films to a microfluidic chip and then incorporating it into a complete system for applications such as diagnostics. MiniFAB also has implemented nano-imprint lithography for the fabrication of nano-scaled structures. The company has developed numerous devices and components, including micro-chemical reactors, biosensor cartridges, bio-fluidic handling systems and connectors, and integrated active components such as valves, pumps and optical elements.
MiniFAB is located in Melbourne, Australia in a 45,000 sq.ft. facility that includes customized GMP production cleanrooms.
Our mission is to create business success for our company, our clients and our partners by developing and manufacturing real world solutions and products using micro, nano, and bio technologies.
