The Assay Chip - Fluidic path control - Fluidic 292 is a specialized microfluidic assay chip designed for the development of hybridization assays. It features six 12 µl chambers, each offering separate volume selection, and multi-channel operation for versatile applications in biomolecular analysis and detection workflows.
General
This assay chip Fluidic 292 chip allows for the development of hybridization assays on chip. Six 12 µl cavities with 200 µm depth can be used for spotting different kinds of arrays. Four of these chambers are operated in row, two further separately. The separate chambers allow e.g. for control or quantification reactions and have pre-cavities to store dry reagents. Sample injection is foreseen through a female Luer interface, reagent supply or air pressure through the female Mini Luer interfaces. The chip is equipped with the following functional elements: * six reaction & detection chambers with 12 µl volume each * two pre-storage chambers with 12 µl volume each * two turning valves for flow control * one membrane in the waste chamber for air release
Features & Benefits
- Multiple Reaction Chambers: Six chambers allow different assays or arrays to be performed at the same time. This helps increase throughput and flexibility in experiments.
- Integrated Valves: Turning valves control fluid flow inside the chip. This allows for precise management of reagents and prevents cross-contamination.
- Dual Pre-storage Chambers: Two extra chambers let you store dry reagents. These are ideal for setting up controls or quantification steps within the same chip.
- Simple Interfaces: Female Luer and Mini Luer ports make it easy to connect to common laboratory tools for sample and reagent introduction.
- Dry Reagent Capability: Pre-cavities allow safe storage of dry compounds until they are needed. This is important for sensitive or staged protocols.
- Membrane-Based Air Release: The integrated membrane in the waste area eliminates air bubbles, improving assay reliability and consistency.
This microfluidic assay chip is designed for researchers developing hybridization assays on chip. Each of the six 12 µl reaction chambers accommodates separate arrays, offering independent assay setup and readout. Four chambers are arranged for sequential operations, while two can function independently—ideal for setting up controls or quantification reactions. The integrated valves provide advanced fluid management while the membrane supports air bubble removal, enhancing overall workflow reliability. Dry reagent storage chambers increase protocol flexibility, and all interfaces are standard for easy integration in laboratory systems.
The Fluidic 292 chip delivers a compact and functional solution for high-precision biomolecular assays. Its design responds to both complex array needs and basic testing procedures, making it suitable for varied research and development settings.
Applications
This chip is best used for research and diagnostic applications where small volume hybridization, control, and quantification reactions are required.
