Microfluidics in Europe.
Your one-stop shop.
Darwin Microfluidics supplies research labs, biotech companies, and academic institutions across Europe with 70+ curated brands of microfluidic instruments, chips, pumps, and consumables. Expert scientific support included. Free intra-EU shipping on qualifying orders.
Trusted by researchers at leading European and global institutions














The microfluidic supplier European researchers choose.
Europe leads global microfluidics research. Germany, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Denmark, and Sweden collectively host hundreds of world-class labs pushing the boundaries of lab-on-chip, organ-on-chip, LNP synthesis, and single-cell biology. Yet sourcing across this landscape remains fragmented. Each country has its own distributors, catalogues are incomplete, and technical support is rarely specialist.
Darwin Microfluidics fixes that. Based in Paris and shipping across the EU every week, we bring 70+ curated brands into a single pan-European catalogue, backed by a team of PhDs and engineers who have actually run the experiments you are trying to run.
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 European labs direct access to the most innovative microfluidic manufacturers, many of which have no national distributor in your country.
Application notes and guides
Our blog covers protocol selection, chip comparisons, troubleshooting, and application-specific buying guides written for real lab scenarios across Europe.
Free shipping
across Europe.
Free shipping thresholds vary by country across Europe. No promo code needed — the threshold applies automatically at checkout, whether you are ordering a single chip or a complete lab setup.
For orders below the threshold, a flat rate applies depending on your country. Exact shipping costs are always shown at checkout before payment. Contact us if you have questions before ordering.

Questions European researchers
ask us most.
I cannot find a specific instrument through my local European distributor, can Darwin source it?
Very likely yes. Darwin covers 70+ brands including Elveflow, Micronit, Bartels, Emulseo, and many others that have no distributor in your country. Send us the product reference and we will confirm availability and lead time within one business day.
I am setting up a new lab in Europe, can Darwin help me choose the right equipment?
Yes. Our team of PhDs and engineers can review your application and propose a complete equipment list. Contact us at contact@darwin-microfluidics.com to get started.
Can Darwin help me select the right chip for my experiment?
Yes. Send us your application details and our team will recommend specific chips from our catalogue with reasoning, material (PDMS, glass, COC, silicon), channel geometry, inlet configuration, and flow control compatibility.
We want to set up an LNP synthesis workflow, where do we start with Darwin?
Contact our team with your target particle size, lipid formulation, and required throughput. We will recommend a complete system and can share application notes from comparable LNP setups we have supported in labs across Europe.
How quickly does Darwin respond to a technical question?
We respond to all technical enquiries within one business day, usually faster. Reach us at contact@darwin-microfluidics.com or +33 1 89 19 70 51. You talk directly to a member of our scientific team, not a call centre.
Can Darwin process a purchase order from a European university or public research body?
Yes. We work regularly with European university purchasing departments, ERC and national research council-funded labs, and institutional procurement teams across the EU. We can issue formal quotations, pro forma invoices, and all supplier documentation your institution requires. Contact us at contact@darwin-microfluidics.com.
Does Darwin offer volume discounts or pricing for recurring orders?
Yes. For large orders, recurring purchases, or complete lab setups, contact us at contact@darwin-microfluidics.com. We work with European technology platforms, CROs, and biotech companies on custom pricing and standing orders for consumables.
What if a product I ordered from Darwin does not work for my application?
We stand behind every product we sell. If something does not perform as expected, contact our technical team and we will troubleshoot with you directly and work with the manufacturer to find a solution.
