PDMS standard flow focusing chips

Droplet microfluidic is a field for turning a continuous fluid into microscale droplets based on the interfacial tension and flow shear between two immiscible fluids. Compared with the cross-flowing geometry, the flow-focusing geometry is more stable, and has a wider range of microdroplet sizes. Therefore, it is currently the best choice for microdroplet generation.

FluidicLab provides PDMS standard flow-focusing chips. Each chip is covalently bonded from a perforated glass slide substrate and a PDMS chip with microscale channel, and the surface of channel is hydrophobic modified to ensure the stable generation of microdroplets. This type of chip can be used for the generation of various Water-in-Oil microdroplets/microspheres, ranging from 25 to 300 μm in diameter. Our chips are eligible for a variety of applications, such as preparation of alginate gel microspheres, chitosan microspheres, etc., ensuring your success in further research.
