• In DNA sequencing, the race is speeding up again: BGI is blowing in Illumina’s neck, newcomers likeGenapsys want their part of the cake ; meanwhile, Illumina and PacBio’s union was prevented by antitrustbodies
• CMOS sensors, both electrical and optical, are increasingly used in several areas of microfluidicsincluding DNA sequencing and point-of-care testing but also organs-on-chips, paving the way forinstrument-free consumables. Some fabs are now building on that aggressively (X-FAB, Schott).
• The Veterinary testing segment sees many new entrants with microfluidic technologies: manycompanies now consider it as a strategic market on the road for enlarging their offer to humandiagnostics
• Molecular diagnostics for point-of-care / point-of-need applications are now making it to thenext step, with extremely successful solutions now being reliable and widely used by physicians. TheCOVID-19 pandemic has even accelerated the adoption of such technologies, the question is now toassess whether there is still some space for new entrants

• The advent of multi-modal platforms (able to perform immunoassays, clinical chemistry, cytometry,nucleic acid detection, etc.) hold the promise for standalone instruments being able to perform almostany type of test, unveiling limitless possibilities for the future of diagnostics
• There is a boom in tools for cell sorting, cell isolation, cell culture, gene editing and cellanalysis in the context of drug development, disease understanding, gene editing, and many moreapplications that require studying cells.
• Microfluidic diagnostic technologies start being used for quality control after manufacturing ofnew biopharmaceuticals (monoclonal antibodies, cell and gene therapies, etc.)
• Flow chemistry and micro-bioreaction enjoy a new tailwind, with regained interest from biotechand pharma companies for the manufacturing of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. We heard that Corningspecifically opened a factory in China for new biologics manufacturing.

COST ANALYSIS
Cost modelling in function of process and material
The model confirms that PDMS is less expensive for very low volumes, but less than commonly thought because all thecost of equipment is rarely counted for PDMS prototyping in the universities. PDMS is not suitable for large-scaleproduction.
It also suggests that for high volumes, NIL becomes more interesting than injection molding

MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND TRENDS
Reshaping processes – NIL vs. Injection molding
NIL is becoming an interesting alternative to injection molding.
Using large glass or silicon wafers (300mm) or even panels (370*470 mm²) as the substrate forNIL enables putting 30 or more chips the size of a microscope slide (25*75 mm²) in a singlebatch. This enables similar throughput as injection molding, which makes NIL a good alternativethat goes below in terms of feature size and allow better aspect ratios.Also in terms of back-end processing, operations like bonding, electrode fabrication, surfacetreatment, reagent spotting, etc. can be done at the wafer level which maximizes efficiency andreduces costs.

SEGMENT 5 – TOOLS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL AND LIFE SCIENCE RESEARCH
Segment descriptionConsumables (flow cells, microarrays) for genomics, proteomics, cell-based assays, tissue engineering, and drug discovery. High emphasis on
DNA/RNA sequencing and single-cell isolation/analysis. Also increasing number of liquid biopsy devices for circulating tumor cells (CTC) isolation
(not used for clinical applications yet) and organ-on-a-chip devices.
Market
Key requirementsHigh precision, high throughput, multiplexing, good optical properties when the detection is optical, compatibility with standardized equipment (96-
and 384-well-plates, liquid-handling robots, etc.). For sequencing applications, there is a race toward reducing the size of nanostructures to increase
the sequencing power per surface unit.

SEGMENT 5 – TOOLS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL AND LIFE SCIENCE RESEARCH
Switch to silicon and to detection on the consumable
Companies increasingly use silicon for their microfluidic devices, especially in the life science research field because there is a needfor sensing and intelligence on-chip.An interesting example is Illumina’s latest flow cell.
In early 2018, Illumina released the iSeq100, a new sequencing system combining the company’s sequencing-by-synthesistechnology with a semiconductor chip. It was interesting to see this move from glass to silicon. The iSeq100 is a lower-throughputsequencer priced around $20k, making it affordable for most laboratories: the throughput is the lowest of Illumina’s offering, butthe audience is much wider. The product leverages Illumina’s new one-color chemistry: despite being a silicon chip, it still relies onoptical detection.
The real move here lies in the integration of the detection scheme directly onto the consumable, making rid ofexpensive optics in the sequencing instrument – which are fragile and need precise calibration;
We believe that this increased use of silicon will continue in the coming years. Other players made this move towards on-chipoptical detection, like BGI that announced a similar chip for its next sequencer.
