The Assay Chip - Piercing elements at the interfaces Fluidic 638 is a specialized microfluidic chip designed for cell-based assays operated using hydrostatic pressure. With its liquid-tight chamber design, volume selection is based on attached external tanks, and it supports single-channel operation for focused assay conditions. Its Luer interfaces include unique piercing structures for use exclusively with compatible male Luer tanks, preventing misuse and ensuring robust sample containment for sensitive applications and reliable results.
General
Assay chip Fluidic 638 e.g. for cell-based assays that can be operated using hydrostatic pressure generated by attached liquid filled tanks. The chip features Luer interfaces with piercing structures which can only be used with male Luer tanks. The interfaces are not compatible with male Luer connectors. The chip features liquid-tight venting membranes at the end of the waste channel to allow air-release but prevent liquid spillage.
Features & Benefits
- Piercing Luer Interfaces: Designed for use with male Luer tanks, making the setup secure and avoiding accidental disconnections. This ensures only suitable accessories are used and enhances overall system safety.
- Hydrostatic Pressure Driven: Supports operation using hydrostatic pressure from liquid-filled tanks. Enables simple, reliable flow control without the need for complex equipment.
- Liquid-Tight Venting Membrane: Features PTFE membranes at the waste channel end. These allow air to escape while effectively preventing liquid spills, protecting both users and instruments.
- Material & Surface Options: Available in PS or Topas with optional hydrophilized or untreated surfaces. Users can select the most suitable properties for their assay type and workflow.
- Chamber Design: Integrated chamber structure supports precise sample containment or reactions. Assures controlled assay conditions for reproducible results.
This assay chip is engineered for robust and reliable operation in cell-based assays using hydrostatic pressure. The unique Luer interfaces with piercing structures guarantee that only compatible tanks are connected, minimizing operational errors and maximizing assay security. The device includes a high-quality PTFE membrane, supporting air release while firmly containing liquids, minimizing spill and contamination risk. Its material and surface customization options support a range of application needs, including assays demanding hydrophilic surfaces or chemical resistance. With its easy-to-use single channel chamber design, the chip is ideal for controlled laboratory measurements where accuracy, ease of use, and system integrity are essential.
