Use our broad expertise in Droplet Formation

Micronit has a wealth of experience in making custom microfluidic chips for a large variety of applications. Among the application fields for which we have developed our specialist knowledge is the formation of microdroplets. We have been helping our customers realise their chip ideas for droplet production for more than a decade now. During this time we have gained unique know-how in the production of chips to guarantee we can meet our customers’ desires for:

•  Encapsulation of droplets
• High throughput droplet generation
• Merging and mixing of droplets
• Droplet sorting
• Droplet manipulation

Our experience in droplet generating structures, both for low and high throughput, as well as in custom coatings and tuning surface properties means we can manufacture devices targeted towards your application needs and specified fluid characteristics.

Interfacing with SideConnect Technology

The patent pending SideConnect technology simplifies the microfluidic chip/cartridge design. Microfluidic access is provided on the edge of the chip at the bonding interface between top and bottom wafer (side connection), thus avoiding additional processing like hole drilling or powder blasting of the top layer. This reduces production costs. Moreover, the functional area of a chip can be significantly reduced due to the smaller footprint of the design (only channels). The microfluidic chip can be side connected to a plastic cartridge either in a 2D (in-plane) or a 3D (out-of-plane) configuration.

The 2D version results in a slim assembly, which is easily accessible for optical applications.

The 3D version contains top reservoirs that can be easily integrated into a surrounding cartridge and accessed for pipetting a defined volume of sample, buffer or reagent.

This SideConnect technology has already proven to be compatible with applications like capillary electrophoresis, but the chip-cartridge design can basically be customized to any specific application. Currently, new SideConnect disposable lab-on-chip products are being developed for use in several Point-of-Care applications.
