Neptune compiles microfluidic device descriptions into physical layouts using the fluigi synthesis engine.
Select the input format for your device description:
- MINT — a concise, human-readable microfluidic netlist format
- LFR — a lower-level flow-and-route description format
Upload your .mint or .lfr file using the file picker, or select one of the built-in examples from the dashboard.
Some designs accept a JSON configuration file that controls synthesis parameters such as channel dimensions and component spacing.
Click Compile to submit your design to the Neptune compute backend. Synthesis runs asynchronously — you can monitor progress in the job status panel.
When synthesis completes, download the generated layout files (JSON format) for use in downstream tools such as 3DuF or Aquacore.
- Use the Examples tab to explore pre-built MINT and LFR designs.
- Synthesis typically takes 30–120 seconds depending on design complexity.
- If a job fails, check the error log for fluigi diagnostics.
