Microfluidics in Canada.
Your one-stop shop.
Darwin Microfluidics supplies Canadian research labs, biotech companies, and academic institutions with 70+ curated brands of microfluidic instruments, chips, pumps, and consumables. Expert scientific support included. All prices shown and charged in USD.
Trusted by researchers at leading Canadian and global institutions














The microfluidic supplier Canadian researchers choose.
Canada has a fast growing microfluidics research ecosystem, with leading engineering and biomedical programmes in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Waterloo. Yet many of the specialised brands used in advanced microfluidics research have no dedicated Canadian distributor.
Darwin Microfluidics fixes that. We ship to Canada every week, bring 70+ curated brands into a single catalogue, and back every order with a team of PhDs and engineers who have actually run the experiments you are trying to run. All pricing is shown and charged in USD.
70+ curated brands, one catalogue
Elveflow, Micronit, Emulseo, Harvard Apparatus, Hamilton, InSphero and 65+ more, all from one source with consistent support.
Real scientific support
Our team answers technical questions before, during, and after purchase. Scientists and engineers who understand your experiment, not a call centre.
Access to leading manufacturers
Darwin gives you direct access to the most innovative microfluidic manufacturers, many of which are unavailable through standard Canadian distributors.
Application notes and guides
Our blog covers protocol selection, chip comparisons, troubleshooting, and application specific buying guides written for real lab scenarios.
Shipping to Canada,
priced in USD.
Orders to Canada ship on a DAP basis. Darwin covers freight to the border, and the buyer is responsible for any customs duties, GST, or provincial taxes assessed on import. These charges are separate from your order total and are not collected at checkout.
Shipping cost is calculated at checkout based on weight, dimensions, and destination, and is shown in USD alongside your order total before you pay.
