Description
Flow Cells with T-Channel offer a sophisticated solution for microfluidic applications, featuring a fused silica construction that ensures durability and optical clarity. These flow cells are designed with two input ports connected via a straight channel to a single output port, providing efficient fluid management. The optically clear ceiling and floor of the microfluidic channels enhance visibility and precision in fluid flow observation.
Available in various configurations, these flow cells can be customized with or without connectors to suit specific needs. Options include models without connectors, with Luer connectors, or with UpChurch Nanoport connectors. This flexibility allows users to select the most appropriate setup for their applications, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.
Constructed from high-quality fused silica glass, the flow cells are made from three layers thermally fused together, ensuring robustness and reliability. The body of the flow cell measures 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width, featuring a graduated reticle with 1mm spacing that runs perpendicular to the channel. Users can choose between a "Thin" version, with a 500µm-thick optical quality window on the top and a 170µm-thick window on the bottom, or a "Thick" version, with 500µm-thick optical quality windows on both sides.
The microfluidic features of the T-Channel Flow Cells include nearly vertical walls and a flat bottom, with both the channel ceiling and floor being flat and transparent for optimal optical quality. Channel dimensions can be selected based on specific requirements, with widths available at 100 microns or 300 microns, and depths at 250 microns or 500 microns. This customization ensures that the flow cells can be tailored to meet the precise demands of various microfluidic applications.
