Liquid handling instrumentation firm Integra Biosciences said that it has acquired Miroculus, a sample prep automation company that has been developing microfluidics-based platforms for next-generation sequencing.

TinkerBio completed a Series A+ financing round of tens of millions of RMB, exclusively invested by Panlin Capital.

Centrifugal microfluidics belongs to a branch of microfluidics, which refers to the control of microfluidics by centrifugal force to drive liquid flow. It integrates the basic operations involved in biology and chemistry on a small disc-shaped chip, so it is also called Lab-on-a-Disc (LOAD).
