The Microscope Slide Platform - 2 x 4 through-hole interfaces - Fluidic 339 is a basic, planar platform designed for custom microfluidic device fabrication. Its main purpose is to serve as a versatile slide-sized base (75.5 mm x 25.5 mm) with 2 x 4 through-hole channels for robust fluidic interfacing. Unique selling points include a standard microscopy slide format for broad compatibility, selectable transparent materials (Topas, Zeonor, PC, PMMA) for optical clarity, and flexibility for volume selection and number of channels—2 x 4 interfaces allow multichannel workflows. The platform is perfect for researchers needing customizable options for prototyping fluidic circuits or quick R&D iterations.
General
This basic platform in the format of a microscope slide (75.5 mm x 25.5 mm) is planar but features 2 x 4 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
- Versatile Slide-Format Base: Standard microscope slide size (75.5 mm x 25.5 mm) makes integration easy in existing lab setups.
- Eight Through-Hole Interfaces: 2 x 4 configuration allows for parallel channel design and dual/multiple sample handling on one platform.
- Multiple Material Options: Available in Topas, Zeonor, PC, and PMMA to match requirements for chemical resistance, optical clarity, or specific application needs.
- Customizable for Prototyping: Suitable for hot embossing, direct polymer milling, or bonding with adhesives for rapid prototyping or research.
- Single-Use and R&D Focused: Designed for laboratory R&D use with single-use application in mind to reduce contamination risk.
This platform is designed for researchers and engineers working in microfluidics who need flexibility and reliability in their prototyping processes. The direct compatibility with custom fabrication, such as hot embossing or milling, makes it an efficient choice for academic or industrial environments needing quick iterations.
With its transparency and material choices, the slide fits applications needing optical inspection or compatibility with various fluids. Adhesive manipulation and direct integration into current microfluidic workflows further enhance its usability and appeal for R&D tasks.
