We specialise in turning early-stage microfluidic ideas into robust, real-world-ready processes, often forming the foundation for life science tool and instrument development. Not just experiments - but systems built for reproducibility, scalability, and deployment.
At Kinetiq, we specialize in offering a full range of creative branding, strategy, design and development services tailored to bring your ideas to life.

Microfluidics is widely used in life science tools and medical devices due to its precise fluid control, reduced reagent use and cost, improved reaction times and throughput; and its ease of integration, automation and portability.
We have some of the most experienced microfluidic engineers in the world. If it’s physically possible, our team can make it happen.
We are material agnostic. Different materials come with their own benefits and limitations, depending on your stage of product development. We choose the material that suits the requirements best, depending on cost, precision, speed and performance
We don’t manufacture microfluidic chips ourselves; we work with a world-class network of glass and polymer microfabrication partners. Our engineers can design for your needs while considering the right material and manufacturer to use. Whether it’s a prototype or a mass-produced single-use consumable, we know how to get it done.
Yes, we have a huge range of experience in developing and testing applications of microfluidics! Our scientists can help design and run the experiments you need.
There are plenty of reasons to choose microfluidics over batch methods for microparticle production - low energy use, better process control, improved dispersity, and higher reproducibility, to name just a few.
At Blacksheep, we have extensive experience of using microfluidics to make microparticles out of polystyrene, polymethacrylate, polyacrylamide, alginate, agarose, poly-lactic-glycolic-acid (PLGA), polyacrylamide. We also have experience in making lipid, PLGA and other polymer nanoparticles.
We can produce Janus particles, core-shell structures, and double emulsions using microfluidic methods.
We’ve got a team of engineers with deep experience in life science instrument development. If your idea is viable, we can help you take it all the way to a working product or scalable process.
Absolutely - microfluidics can be used to generate spheroids and organoids and is one of the preferred methods for handling living cells in research and therapeutic development.
Yes - our expertise allows us to produce highly monodisperse microparticles to your specified requirements.
Yes - we can design and build instruments that integrate your microfluidic system as part of a complete platform.
Our team combines mechanical, electrical, and fluidic engineering with systems integration and life science instrumentation. We support a wide range of biotech and life science applications - including but not limited to microfluidic systems.
Costs vary depending on the complexity and scope of your project. We offer flexible engagement models and can provide a quote once we understand your specific needs.
Timelines depend on the stage and scale of the project. Some take a few weeks, others several months. We’ll give you a clear timeline once we scope the work.
