Manifolds & Chips for Medical & Analytical Technology
In modern life sciences, manifolds and chips play a crucial role, especially in microfluidics. These technologies enable precise control and manipulation of fluids on a microscopic scale, making them essential for applications such as cell culture, analytics, and diagnostics.
Product overview
Valve manifolds & modules
To optimize the installation space and the fluidic installation, we offer modules combining valves and pumps as a standard solution or according to customer specifications.
Diffusion Bonded Multilayer Fluidic Manifolds
Made of plastic materials such as PMMA, PC, Ultem®, etc.
PTFE Manifolds
This is a 100% PTFE manifold, with internal channels made by the bonding of two layers of modified PTFE. Due to excellent chemical resistance, this product is compatible with a wide range of fluids.
Film Chips
The Film Chip is extremely thin and made with precise channels micromachined in layers of bonded resin films. It is flexible and can be curved.
Bonded Plastic Chips
In close coordination with our customers, our partners manufacture customer-specific plastic chips.
PDMS Chips
PDMS chips can be machined for prototypes and injection molded for low-cost mass production.
Applications in Life Sciences
In biotechnology and life sciences, microfluidic manifolds and chips find applications in diagnostics, drug development, and basic research. Their ability to precisely control small amounts of liquid enables the miniaturization of experiments, increasing efficiency. This not only reduces the use of expensive reagents but also accelerates the research process.
For instance, in drug development, microfluidic platforms can be used to rapidly test drug candidates and assess their effects on cell cultures. In diagnostic applications, lab-on-a-chip systems allow for rapid analysis of blood samples, enabling early detection of diseases.
Manifolds and chips for life science applications and microfluidics provide powerful platforms for controlling fluids and simulating complex biological processes at the microscale. The integration of these technologies into research and diagnostics drives innovation across various fields, opening new possibilities in biomedicine and pharmaceuticals.
