Description
Cross-Channel Flow Cells are expertly crafted from high-quality fused silica glass, ensuring durability and precision in microfluidic applications. These flow cells feature a unique design with three input ports connected via a straight channel to a single output port. This configuration is ideal for a variety of fluidic experiments and analyses, providing seamless integration into your laboratory setup.
The flow cells are engineered with optically clear, transparent ceilings and floors, allowing for unobstructed observation and analysis of fluid dynamics within the channels. The microfluidic channels are designed with nearly vertical walls and a flat bottom, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of your experiments. The graduated reticle, with 1mm spacing running perpendicular to the channel, aids in precise measurement and alignment during use.
Available in both "Thin" and "Thick" versions, these flow cells cater to diverse experimental needs. The "Thin" version features a 500µm-thick optical quality window on the top and a 170µm-thick window on the bottom, while the "Thick" version offers 500µm-thick windows on both sides. This flexibility allows you to select the version that best suits your specific requirements.
Customization is key with Cross-Channel Flow Cells, as they are available with or without connectors. Choose from options such as Luer connectors or UpChurch Nanoport connectors, depending on your setup. Additionally, the flow cells come in various channel widths and depths, providing further adaptability for your microfluidic applications.
