Frøydis Sved Skottvoll is a researcher in the BioMEMS and Medical Sensors group at SINTEF Digital, within the department of Smart Sensors and Microsystems. During her doctoral studies (2022, University of Oslo, Department of Chemistry), she developed an innovative platform for the automated drug analysis of organoids. Currently, she focuses on integrating micro- and nanofabrication technology with analytical chemistry, making the current setup more suitable for small samples, high throughput, and enabling miniaturization. Her contributions to the field have recently earned her recognition as one of Norway’s 50 most influential women in technology (issued by Abelia/ODA network).
Combining silicon micro-nanofabrication technology to create perfectly ordered separation beds on a silicon chip, such as micro-pillar array columns (µPACs), is a powerful innovation in liquid chromatography. This article discusses the numerous possibilities of micro-nanofabrication in the future of analytical chemistry in life science, covering sample preparation, separation science, and detection technologies.
