Founding Stories: Partillion
After working in microfluidics for decades, Dr. Dino Di Carlo from UCLA wanted to solve a major pain point in the industry - each new application required new instrumentation. What if, he thought, researchers could perform novel microfluidics without new instruments and instead use existing technologies? With this idea, Dino and his lab began working on different approaches to solve the problem. Joe de Rutte, a PhD Student in Dino’s lab came up with the solution - nanovials. This was the inception of Partillion.
