Do I really need a chipholder to connect my tubing with the chips?

We highly recommend using our Fluidic Connect Pro chip holders, along with a connection kit, to securely connect the tubing to the chip. The chip holder presses an elastomeric component against the glass chip, creating a reliable seal between the tubing and the chip. The use of glue is not advised, as capillary action may draw the adhesive into the chip, potentially causing damage.
