The Cuvette Tank Chip - With incubation meander Fluidic 576 is a microfluidic device designed for applications requiring a large sample uptake interface, multiple chamber depths, and precise fluid incubation. The chip allows for flexible volume use and includes advanced features like volume selection per application and multiple measurement channels enabled by dual-chamber construction.
General
Cuvette tank chip Fluidic 576 features a large sample uptake interface and measurement cavities with two chamber depths. Fluidic 576 furthermore features an incubation meander before the measurement chambers. To avoid liquid flow after filling the measurement chamber until equilibrium between inlet and outlet filling height is ensured, the chips can be equipped with a venting membrane allowing to release air, but remaining liquid tight.
Features & Benefits
- Dual Chamber Depths: Supports different measurement or incubation protocols by offering two chamber depths in one chip.
- Integrated Incubation Meander: Ensures sample conditioning and improved incubation before measurement, helpful for assay fidelity.
- Ventilation Membrane Option: Allows excess air to escape without losing liquid. This gives stable fluid conditions during and after filling.
- Large Sample Interface: Handles larger volume samples easily, increasing versatility in testing and research workflows.
- Flexible Surface Treatment: Offers both not treated and hydrophilized surfaces for best compatibility with a range of fluids and assay types.
- Transparent Design: Facilitates real-time visual inspection and straightforward use in optical assays.
This chip combines a robust chamber structure with an incubation zone, supporting precise experimental control. The available venting membrane prevents fluid movement after chamber filling, so inlet and outlet heights reach equilibrium, and results are more reproducible.
Cuvette Tank Chip - With incubation meander Fluidic 576 is compatible with both hydrophilized and non-treated surfaces, making it suitable for various solution types and research protocols. Its transparent body allows for straightforward sample inspection and optical measurement.
Applications
This microfluidic chip is well suited for advanced laboratory workflows, enabling careful sample incubation, controlled measurement, and direct integration into liquid handling systems. It is often used for:
- Laboratory assays and measurements demanding different incubation conditions
- Quality control with strict volume and fluid management requirements
- Pharmaceutical testing and screening focusing on sample integrity
