The Microscope Slide Platform - 2 x 14 through-hole interfaces - Fluidic 435 is a versatile R&D tool designed to fit a standard microscope slide size (75.5 mm x 25.5 mm), offering a planar platform with 2 x 14 through-hole interfaces. It is ideal for custom microfluidic device fabrication, such as hot embossing or polymer milling, and allows flexible fluidic integration. Multiple volume ranges, selectable in the design process, are possible through channel layout. This platform features 28 channel interfaces for broad application flexibility and supports straightforward integration into experimental setups.
General
This basic platform in the format of a microscope slide (75.5 mm x 25.5 mm) is planar but features 2 x 14 through-hole interfaces. It is therefore the perfect starting point to fabricate your own microfluidic device, e.g. via hot embossing or direct polymer milling. It can also be manipulated using double-sided adhesive tape. The platform is sold in packs of 10 pcs. microfluidic ChipShop also offers direct polymer milling fabrication services using this platform. Just contact us.
Features & Benefits
- Standardized Format: The platform matches the size of a typical microscope slide, making it easy to handle and integrate into existing lab processes.
- Multiple Through-Hole Interfaces: With 28 through-holes, it provides flexible connections for fluidic devices and experimental setups.
- Easy Customization: The platform is ideal for those needing to prototype or fabricate custom microfluidic devices using various techniques such as hot embossing or direct milling.
- Material Options: Four material choices available (Topas, Zeonor, PC, PMMA) to accommodate different experimental needs and preferences.
- Transparent Material: Made from transparent polymers for visual inspection and optical experiments.
This platform fulfills a unique need for researchers and engineers who require a simple yet highly customizable substrate for developing their own microfluidic devices. It supports a wide range of prototyping methods, allowing direct modification by hot embossing, milling, or adhesive mounting. The transparent construction provides easy optical assessment during experiments.
The 2 x 14 through-hole design maximizes the number of possible fluidic connections, facilitating complex microfluidic circuits or parallel channel setups. With multiple material options, users can select the optimal platform based on chemical compatibility, optical clarity, or fabrication requirements.
