​Engineering for Manufacturability, Not Just Prototyping

A microfluidic chip may perform successfully in laboratory testing yet require significant adjustments before it can be manufactured consistently.

​

Our engineering approach considers the relationship between functional design and manufacturing constraints from the early development stages. This is particularly important for devices with dense microchannels, complex junctions, thin walls or demanding optical and bonding requirements.

Thermoplastic Materials for Microfluidic Manufacturing

Material selection is a critical part of microfluidic device development. The chosen polymer can influence optical transmission, chemical resistance, microfeature replication, dimensional stability and bonding performance.

​

We work with thermoplastics including:

  • COC (Cyclic Olefin Copolymer): Used where optical properties, low moisture absorption and dimensional performance are important.

  • COP (Cyclic Olefin Polymer): Considered for applications with demanding optical, purity and chemical compatibility requirements.

  • PMMA (Acrylic): Offers optical clarity and can be suitable for microfluidic devices requiring precise molded features.

  • PC (Polycarbonate): Provides mechanical strength and transparency for suitable microfluidic components.

​

The right material depends on the device's intended use, geometry, manufacturing method and assembly requirements.
