Slovenia-based miDALIX Maskless Lithography Systems has updated its state-of-the-art direct-write lithography device for lab-on-a-chip applications.
Following the latest announcement, the company’s system, DaLI, can be used to facilitate lab-on-a-chip designs for various applications, including human diagnostics, DNA analysis, and chemical synthesis.

As part of the recent update, miDALIX offers its highly precise maskless photography device for scientists and engineers creating miniature analytical devices for the needs of their biological or chemical projects. A major benefit of the machine is that DaLI eliminates the need for using a mask for writing the image pattern, delivering a non-contact method for mounting and positioning samples.
The maskless technology also makes it possible for researchers and scientists to accurately illuminate structures with nanometer precision, ensuring a clean microscale environment.
DaLI features an acousto-optic deflector, allowing for the illumination of over 100,000 random dots per second without a single mechanical move. The universal table-top system is also equipped with a guided laser beam to enable the transfer of highly precise structure edges for various shapes and sizes.
For lab-on-a-chip applications, “highly precise lithographic structures are needed for a high-quality final device, in order to avoid leaks and jams in the contained flows,” miDALIX says.
DaLI is entirely software operated and comes with an intuitive interface that allows scientific teams to easily design and align structures and control exposure. The device is also equipped with a multi-color microscope for substrate inspection and alignment.
In addition to lab-on-a-chip technology, DaLI has also been widely adopted by scientists and researchers in their material science, quantum devices, microelectronics, MEMS, biophysics, and microfluidics projects.
