The Sorting and Flow Focusing Chip - Various Channel Dimensions Fluidic 1557 is a specialized microfluidic device designed for the generation and sorting of nanoparticles, such as PLGA nanoparticles or LNPs. It features three independent flow focusing units to allow flexible handling of volume and efficient volume selection per channel. The chip provides multiple channel access and supports dynamic experiment designs for advanced research tasks.
General
The sorting and flow focusing chip Fluidic 1557 with Mini Luer interfaces features three flow focusing units. Channels/interfaces not in use can simply be closed with Mini Luer plugs. The chip can be used to generate e.g. PLGA nanoparticles or LNPs. The particle sorting chip applying a sheath flow should be used with pulsation free syringe pumps.
Features & Benefits
- Three flow focusing units: Enables simultaneous or independent experiments for better efficiency.
- Flexible channel management: Channels and interfaces not needed can be quickly sealed with Mini Luer plugs.
- Wide chemical compatibility: Available in both PC and Topas to support various sample types and reagents.
- Transparent chip body: Facilitates visual monitoring during operation.
- No built-in membrane: Reduces clogging risks and simplifies cleaning.
- Standard Mini Luer interface: Permits fast and secure tubing connection with most common lab equipment.
This microfluidic chip is designed for fast and reliable particle generation and sorting. It allows scientists to develop, optimize and fine-tune particle-formation experiments thanks to three independent flow focusing units. The device fits perfectly into lab workflows requiring process changes or parallel runs, as unused channels can be closed off easily.
By providing a choice between two material options, PC and Topas, the chip meets a wide range of application needs from chemical compatibility to optical requirements. The transparent body further assists precise observations in research and development settings.
Applications
This chip is suited for applications that need controlled fluid flow and precise particle sorting in microfluidics research and industry settings.
- Nanoparticle synthesis (e.g. PLGA and LNP production)
- Microfluidic assay development
- Particle sorting in biological and pharmaceutical labs
