The MMFT ISO Designer is a tool that validates and generates microfluidic chip designs following the ISO 22916 standard. It is developed as part of the Munich Microfluidics Toolkit (MMFT) by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich. Currently, it is able to place and route basic modules and channels while validating a number of geometric constraints. For more details, please check out the relevant research paper:

To use the tool locally, install node
and npm
, then run
npm install
npm start
A browser window should open up where you can load an input file using the Load

Why does the displayed runtime appear to be significantly lower than the time the program takes to deliver results?
The measured runtime includes Z3 solving runtime only. Producing the constraints, passing constraints to the solver and generating output images is not included. This discrepancy becomes obvious mostly for validation cases with a large set of constraints, but low actual solver runtime.
