The Shallow Chamber Chip - 44 µl chamber volume Fluidic 1273 is a microfluidic chip designed with a particularly shallow chamber for precise monitoring applications. Its unique selling points include a defined chamber volume of 44 µl, options for surface treatment selection, and dual individual chamber channels. These features make it an optimal solution for droplet monitoring and experiments requiring low chamber height.
General
The shallow chamber chip has been specifically designed for any experiment where a particularly shallow chamber is required. A typically use case would be the monitoring of droplets, which have been previously produced with one of our droplet generator chips. The shallow chamber chip features two individual chambers, both 100 µm in height with monitoring surface area of 441 mm².
Features & Benefits
- Shallow chamber design: The chip’s low chamber height of 100 µm allows for monitoring and imaging of very thin fluid layers.
- Dual independent chambers: Two chambers on a single chip allow for parallel experiments or separate monitoring under identical conditions.
- Customizable material and surface: Variants with PC or Topas material and hydrophilized or untreated surfaces support a range of application needs and sample compatibility.
- Transparent construction: Clear body ensures optimal visualization and compatibility with optical detection solutions.
- No membrane: The design avoids use of membranes, removing interference for droplet applications or continuous flow experiments.
This microfluidic chip is optimized for experiments requiring close control of chamber depth, such as droplet observation. The dual chamber design gives researchers the flexibility to perform two tests simultaneously or view two samples under matched conditions. Material and surface options help improve compatibility with different reagents and imaging systems.
The chip’s transparency improves monitoring for optical methods. It is ready for use in both research and industrial microfluidic workflows looking for repeatable shallow chamber conditions. Its robust materials and straightforward, membrane-free format further simplify integration into various set-ups.
Applications
The Shallow Chamber Chip - 44 µl chamber volume Fluidic 1273 is ideal for:
- Monitoring and imaging of microfluidic droplets
- Parallel sample testing in shallow environments
- Cell or particle observation using optical microscopes
