microactuators for driving innnovation

more function in less space with memetis
Chip Actuators held by two fingers

memetis' microactuators made of shape memory alloys generate considerable forces while being super compact. They are designed to enable movement:  

  • on microfluidic chips and disposable cartridges,
  • for controlling disposable valves,  
  • for automating biochemical assays
  • and in other applications. 

Our actuators allow you to innovate and offer smaller and more intelligent point-of-care devices, medical devices, lab-/organ-on-a-chip solutions, or to power research setups.

Wherever movement needs to be realized in the smallest of installation spaces, we are the right partner for you.

Chip Actuators for Life Sciences

The width of our chip actuator is designed for 9 mm spacing to fit, for example, on a multi-well plate

Chip Actuator CA0408

This chip actuator has a force of 8 N and can be equipped with a customer-specific plunger. The actuator can be used, for example, to actuate seat valve on microfluidic chips.

Chip Actuator CA2001

The ultra-compact upstroke actuator from memetis is powerful and switches silently. It is a great alternative to linear solenoids and, with its high force-to-volume ratio, makes new miniaturized applications possible.
