The Cross-Shaped Channel Chip - With electrodes in contact mode - Fluidic 82 is a specialized microfluidic platform designed for direct liquid-electrode interaction. Its main purpose is analytical measurements where precise electrode contact and fluidic manipulation are required. Unique selling points include its 50 µm channel depth and 50 mm channel width, along with a cross-junction for versatile fluid routing. Volume handling depends on channel geometry, volume selection adapts to application needs, and the chip features a single integrated channel network for measurement flexibility.
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 and electrodes in contact mode. The electrodes are made of 10 nm titanium and 100-150 nm gold. They are placed on top of the cover lid and assembled towards the channel, resulting in a direct contact between electrode and the liquid to be analyzed. The channels on this chip feature the following dimensions: * Channel depth: 50 µm * Channel width: 50 mm * Channel length: 87 mm * The chip is made of PMMA and comes with through holes.
Features & Benefits
- Direct electrode-liquid contact: The gold and titanium electrodes are in direct contact with the analyte. This enables fast and sensitive electrochemical detection.
- Integrated cross-junction: The cross-shaped microchannel supports flexible flow control and mixing. Suitable for complex fluidic experiments.
- Robust PMMA construction: The chip body uses PMMA material. It offers chemical resistance and durability during handling and measurements.
This device is built for experiments that need precise contact between electrodes and the liquid inside the channel. The gold and titanium layers provide reliable conductivity. Placement of electrodes on the cover lid, directly above the channel, allows uncompromised measurement conditions. The through-hole interface makes connections easy for both fluids and electrical readouts.
With a standard chip size and easily observable channels, this chip is simple to align and integrate into most setups. The absence of any membrane and the untreated interface keep background signals to a minimum. Users in research, diagnostics, or sensor prototyping will find this chip suitable for straightforward implementation.
Applications
This chip is ideal for applications that need direct electrochemical measurements in small microfluidic channels. Use cases include:
- Electrochemical sensing
- Biomedical assays
- Diagnostics and research on liquid samples
