Lab-on-a-Chip

The revolution of REE processing is getting smaller. “Lab-on-a-Chip” (LoC) technology is transforming how we analyze specimens by miniaturizing entire laboratory processes onto a single device. This approach allows for real-time monitoring of chemical reactions while reducing reagents and waste. For tpak.ca, LoC represents a leap toward sustainable mineralogy. By simulating complex extraction environments in … Read more
