This Project Grant award of $722,860 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will fund the acquisition of the Nanoscribe Quantum X Shape 3D microfabrication system at the University of Arizona (UA). This advanced equipment will be integrated into UA's Precision Freeform-Optics Design, Fabrication, and Testing (PF-DFT) facility to enhance the university's biomedical optical imaging and microfluidics research capabilities. The Nanoscribe system enables high-precision 2.5D and 3D microfabrication with feature sizes down to 100 nm, allowing researchers to rapidly prototype biomedical devices, microfluidic components, and other precision parts for NIH-funded projects. By expanding the PF-DFT facility's capacity, this award aims to empower a broader range of investigators to explore previously inaccessible design spaces and unlock new avenues of inquiry in areas such as biomedical imaging and drug delivery systems. The award period runs from June 2024 to June 2025.
