Straight-Channel Flow Cells are meticulously crafted using high-quality fused silica glass, ensuring durability and precision in microfluidic applications. These flow cells feature a straightforward design with a single input port connected to an output port via a straight channel. This design facilitates seamless fluid transfer, making it an ideal choice for various scientific and industrial applications. The microfluidic channels are engineered with optically clear ceilings and floors, providing excellent visibility and accuracy during use.

Each flow cell is constructed from three layers of fused silica, thermally fused together to create a robust and reliable structure. The body of the flow cell measures 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a graduated reticle spaced at 1mm intervals running perpendicular to the channel. This feature aids in precise measurement and alignment during experiments. The flow cells are available in two versions: "Thin" and "Thick." The Thin version includes a 500µm-thick optical quality window on the top and a 170µm-thick window on the bottom, while the Thick version features 500µm-thick windows on both sides.

Customization is a key aspect of these flow cells, as they are available with or without connectors. Options include no connectors, Luer connectors, or UpChurch Nanoport connectors, allowing users to select the configuration that best suits their needs. Additionally, the flow cells come in various channel widths and depths, providing flexibility for different experimental setups. The microfluidic channels are designed with nearly vertical walls and a flat bottom, ensuring optimal fluid dynamics and performance.
