LAB ON A CHIP

Miniaturization is key to increase production capacities while decreasing resource requirements. Microfluidics in glass offer new possiblitites for chemical synthesis and high-throughput screening on-chip. Glassomer provides complex chip designs in high-quality glass.

MINIATURIZATION IN FUSED SILICA GLASS

Miniaturization is key to increase production capacities while decreasing resource requirements.
Do you want to increase your analysis or synthesis throughput? Glassomer produces high-resolution, high-precision glass chips for microfluidic applications – with high thermal and chemical stability. 

The Challenge

Microfluidics, the handling of small liquid volumina in microchannels, offers new possibilities for synthesis and analysis. Different laws for flows apply in such small volumina – enabling more effective reactions but at the same time requiring complex channel geometries. Most chips are nowadays made from polymers. Especially for chemical synthesis, conventional polymer chips are not suited due to their limited stability.

The Solution

Glass offers an unmatched chemical stability combined with high transparency. This way, complex syntheses can be realized and combined with optical analysis on-chip. With the Glassomer Technology, even complex designs can be fabricated.

BENEFITS

Glassomer offers intricate biochips in fused silica, but can also withstand the harsh conditions of chemical synthesis on-chip.
