The Pillar Chip - Particle sieving and more Fluidic 261 is a microfluidic device designed to sieve, trap, or manage particles in fluidic environments. It features eight distinct chambers with varied pillar structures. The chip enables precise control over sample manipulation through different chamber volumes, selectable by design, and allows for up to eight unique channel environments in a single device. This makes it ideal for particle retention, sieving, and surface functionalization tasks.
General
The pillar Fluidc 261 chip features eight chambers. Each chamber is populated with pillars of different size, pitch and shape. With its eight pillar chambers, the pillar chip Fluidic 261 can be used for a variety if applications. Pillar structures can be used to maintain particles at a certain area, to allow for self-filling of devices via capillary forces, to increase surface area, to have a sieving effect, or to use these structures for surface functionalization with high surface area regions in a microfluidic device
Features & Benefits
- Eight Diverse Chambers: Each chamber has different pillar sizes, shapes, and pitches. This enables a wide range of experimental variations within a single chip.
- Particle Control and Sieving: Pillar structures retain particles efficiently. They can serve for size-based sorting or isolation in microfluidic experiments.
- Flexible Material Selection: Available in Topas, Zeonor, or PMMA. Each option offers unique chemical and thermal features for different experimental needs.
- Mini Luer Interface: Provides quick and reliable fluidic connections. It fits standard microfluidic setups.
- High Surface Area: The design increases the surface area for applications like surface chemistry or functionalization.
- Capillary-Driven Filling: Pillar arrangements help in self-filling by capillary action without extra pumps.
The Pillar Chip - Particle sieving and more Fluidic 261 offers a versatile tool for advanced microfluidics. It stands out for its adaptable chamber designs and surface structuring. The modular layout lets users test different functionalities, such as selective particle trapping, flow manipulation, or functionalizing surfaces with targeted molecules.
Available in transparent Topas, Zeonor, or PMMA, the chip fits standard mini Luer fluidic systems and is not surface-treated, maintaining experimental flexibility. The chip does not include membranes, which is beneficial where direct pillar-based separation or surface use is needed. It is suitable for exploratory lab work in biology, chemistry, diagnostics, or engineering.
