Why Darwin in France

The microfluidic supplier French researchers choose.

France is one of Europe's most active microfluidics research nations. The CNRS, Inserm, CEA, Institut Pasteur, and dozens of universities publish world-class work in the field every year. Yet sourcing the right instruments remains frustrating. Lead times are long, catalogues are incomplete, and most generalist distributors offer little to no technical support.

Darwin Microfluidics fixes that. We bring 70+ curated brands into a single catalogue, backed by a team of PhDs and engineers who have actually run the experiments you are trying to run.

Where French microfluidics research happens

Serving every major
French research cluster.

Paris and Île-de-France

Île-de-France

France's leading scientific cluster, with the highest concentration of research labs and biotech companies in the country. The Institut Pasteur, CNRS, Inserm, and major pharmaceutical groups are all based here. Darwin Microfluidics is headquartered in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.

Institut Pasteur, CNRS, Inserm, Sorbonne Université, Sanofi

Grenoble

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

France's capital of nanotechnology and microsystems. CEA-Leti, ILL, and ESRF make Grenoble a world-class hub for microfabrication and advanced scientific instrumentation with direct applications in microfluidics.

CEA-Leti, Université Grenoble Alpes, ILL, ESRF

Strasbourg

Grand Est

Home to internationally renowned chemistry research, with strong activity in analytical chemistry, flow chemistry microfluidics, and chip development. ISIS and CNRS institutes are particularly active in the field.

Université de Strasbourg, ISIS, ICS-CNRS

Lyon

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

France's second largest life science cluster, with a significant concentration of pharmaceutical, diagnostics, and medtech companies. ENS Lyon and Université Claude Bernard are very active in systems biology and cellular microfluidics.

FAQ

Questions French researchers
ask us most.

I cannot find a specific instrument through French distributors — can Darwin source it?

Very likely yes. Darwin covers 70+ brands including Elveflow, Micronit, Bartels, Emulseo, and many others rarely available through French generalist distributors. 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 France — 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 French research labs.

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 French university or public research body?

Yes. We work regularly with French university purchasing departments, CNRS UMRs, Inserm establishments, and grandes écoles. 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 French 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.
