Rapid Bio joins Smart Microfluidics 2025 with new chip-based point-of-care tests

From 29 to 31 October 2025, the Rapid Bio team took part in the second International Conference on Microfluidic Technologies “Smart microfluidics 2025”, held in a hybrid format at Southern Federal University in Rostov-on-Don. The forum brings together researchers and industry representatives from around the world to discuss applications of microfluidic technologies.

At the Rapid Bio stand, visitors were able to see a range of the company’s in-house developments, including solutions in its new strategic area — microfluidics. As part of the scientific programme, company specialists delivered a talk titled “Point-of-care test systems based on microfluidic technologies”, outlining engineering approaches to integrating microfluidic chips into rapid diagnostics at the point of care.

Microfluidic platforms help cut sample and reagent volumes, reduce turnaround times and improve reproducibility — all key factors for the development of portable test systems and wider access to diagnostics.
