The Cross-Shaped Channel Chip - w/o electrodes Fluidic 394 is a microfluidic device designed for precise fluid flow control and mixing in experimental setups. It supports multiple material variants for compatibility and offers a selection channel geometry. The device provides a single fluidic cross-junction channel, precise volume handling due to its dimensions (channel depth 200 µm, width 200 µm, length 87 mm), and supports direct volume selection through its interface type. The transparent design allows direct observation of flow and reactions inside the channel.
General
This cross-shaped channel chip comes in the extended size platform I shape (95 x 16 x 1.5 mm). It features a cross-junction. The channels feature the following dimensions: * Channel depth: 200 µm * Channel width: 200 µm * Channel length: 87 mm
Features & Benefits
- Flexible Material Options: Available in Topas, Zeonor, or PMMA, making it adaptable to a range of solvents, samples, or lab conditions. Choosing the right polymer helps meet specific experimental needs.
- Standard Luer Interface: The Luer interface allows straightforward and tight fluidic connections for easy setup. It supports compatibility with standard laboratory tubing and syringes.
- Clear, Unobstructed Channel Observation: The chip’s transparent body ensures visual monitoring of channel processes for precise flow control and observation of reactions or mixing.
The Cross-Shaped Channel Chip - w/o electrodes Fluidic 394 is designed to facilitate reliable, flexible, and visually accessible microfluidic experimentation. Its channels have a cross junction, offering a basic architecture for intersecting flow, enabling studies of mixing, laminar flow, or reaction dynamics.
The device uses durable and transparent specialty polymers (Topas, Zeonor, PMMA) for the chip body and a matching foil for the lid, supporting broad chemical compatibility and high visual clarity. The Luer-type fluidic ports simplify integration with typical microfluidics lab equipment.
This chip is suitable for rapid prototyping, fluid separation, and mixing studies where accurate and clean channel definition is crucial. No additional surface treatment or membranes are included; users interact directly with untreated polymer surfaces and clear channels.
Applications
This chip is ideal for small-scale lab-on-a-chip studies, fluid mixing and separation experiments, and prototyping new microfluidic setups. It is widely used in research labs, analytical settings, and bioengineering workflows.
- Lab-on-a-chip device development
