Citrogene – High-precision glass and silicon microfabrication for research and industry
Citrogene specializes in the high-precision microfabrication of glass and silicon for demanding scientific and industrial applications. Utilizing innovative manufacturing processes, it creates complex microstructures and components for life sciences, microfluidics, photonics, semiconductor technology, and other high-tech applications.
Manufacturing capabilities range from individual prototypes and customer-specific components to scalable serial production. Various types of glass, such as quartz glass, fused silica, borosilicate glass, and other specialty glasses, as well as silicon, can be processed.

Citrogene solutions are used, among other things, for microfluidic systems, lab-on-a-chip applications, biosensors, medical devices, photonic components, and semiconductor applications. The precise processing enables complex microchannels, holes, and structures while maintaining high chemical and thermal resistance of the materials used.
