About Bartels Mikrotechnik
Bartels Mikrotechnik GmbH, headquartered in Dortmund, is a supplier of microsystems technology with a focus on microfluidics. The company develops, produces and distributes piezo-based micropumps for the precise and energy-efficient transport of liquids and gases, as well as complete integrated compact fluidic systems – from development through to series and mass production. The micropumps measure 30 x 15 x 3.8 mm, weigh 2 g and deliver flow rates of up to 14 ml/min for liquids and 35 ml/min for gases. In addition to standard products, the company offers custom fluidic solutions, including micropump integration, electrical engineering and software development. Microstructuring is performed in the micrometer range (0.1–1000 µm), among other methods by excimer laser in its own laser job shop. Customer industries include biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, life sciences, microscopy, genetic analysis, trace detection and industrial applications. Distribution is handled by distributors worldwide, including in the USA, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel and France.
