NIH-FUNDED RESEARCH

In addition to our commercial operations, Xona Microfluidics Inc performs NIH-funded research within our state-of-the-art research lab. We encourage and seek collaborations with other institutions for mutually beneficial projects. We believe focusing on research together with our commercial activities is critical for our success.
