microactuators for driving innnovation

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 Chip Actuators that operate on-chip membrane valves and pumps allow you to innovate and offer smaller and more intelligent point-of-care devices, medical, analytical, lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip devices.

This off-shelf chip actuator features a passive force of 8 N and an M2 internal thread that allows mounting a custom plunger or a threaded rod with a stoke of 0.4 mm. The actuator is well suited for operating seat valves on microfluidic chips.

memetis Chip Actuators are compact and multifunctional linear actuators that are designed with a broad range of applications in mind. They are easily customizable and offer strokes of up to 2 mm and peak forces of up to 8 N.

No external force or pressure generation required, just the current-driven actuator modules that interface your chip!
