The Plasma Generation Chip - For on-chip analysis Fluidic 973 is a microfluidic device designed for efficient plasma generation and optical readout applications on-chip. It features a large membrane volume, flexible volume selection through direct pipette or tank loading, and accommodates single-channel operation for focused analysis. The integrated venting membrane ensures plasma retention while the Luer interface offers convenient filling methods.
General
This chip contains our classic plasma generation membrane with large footprint. However, somewhat special, Fluidic 973 has been tailored for on-chip analysis with a pre- and post-membrane chamber enabling optical readouts, for example. The chip is filled via its Luer interface, while a venting membrane prevents generated plasma from exiting the chip. Please note that generated plasma is retained in this chip, hence it is not suitable for off-chip downstream experiments. Fluidic 973 can be loaded directly with a pipette or with the help of a tank, there's no need to apply further pressure. Watch this video for more information on how to use the plasma separation chip.
Features & Benefits
- On-chip analysis ready: Built-in chambers before and after the plasma membrane enable direct optical readouts and measurements.
- Easy loading: Fill the chip with a pipette or tank using the Luer interface. No extra pressure is required for operation.
- Secure plasma retention: The integrated venting membrane ensures that generated plasma stays inside the chip, supporting contained on-chip experiments.
- Multiple surface treatments: Choose between hydrophilized or untreated surfaces for your specific experimental requirements.
- Transparent design: The clear material allows for easy optical inspection of each process stage within the chip.
This microfluidic chip is tailored for labs needing precise, contained plasma generation directly on-chip. Its special design with built-in optical chambers supports multiple types of readouts, valuable for experiments that rely on real-time monitoring. Easy loading and contained retention make it suitable for routine lab tasks without the need for extra equipment. The option for different surface treatments ensures adaptability to protocols.
The chip is intended for direct on-chip applications only. It provides controlled plasma generation without loss or contamination, making it ideal for consistent and repeatable laboratory workflows. The transparent chip body helps ensure clarity and ease of use in diagnostics, quality control, and post-processing studies.
