It's possible manufacture your own inserts for the Fluidic Connect Pro, however perhaps our insert set which is more flexible in chip length can be a good alternative or starting point? This product can be found here In design of your own insert set there are some attention points: Always keep the total height stack (chip tickness + inserts height up to the holder frame) comparable with our default inserts. Our inserts are designed for use with a chip tickness of 1.8mm (without metal spacers with a thickness of 0.6mm). Keep using our special ferrules. The ferrules will absorb height differences preventing large forces on the holder. The Fluidic Connect Pro concept is NOT compatible for sealing without elastic material in the height stack. Be also carefull with large sealing areas, typical the distributed forces are too less for good sealing. Do not seal on top of elastic materials, like PDMS. The applied force might compress the channel structures. In this case it's best to interface on the rigit side like on the glass layer. This will better distribute the force preventing shape changes of the elastomer. Some time it helps to order an existing insert set as visual example.
A dawing of the Fludic Connect Pro (frame only) can be found here.

This will NOT work and will cause damage to the chip or holder. Our ferrules for use with the Fluidic Connect Pro are a Micronit proprietary design and also a specific grade of FFKM is used.

You need a combination of items supplied by Elveflow and Micronit. Please take a look at the full answer for more details.

Lineup We recommend the dafault Fluigent kits (FLOW EZ™ SUPPLY KIT, FLUIWELL KIT or P-CAP KIT)
The P-cab or FLUIWELL KIT already contains 0.5m 1/16" OD FEP tubing with a ID of 500µm, when you use only limited pressures, you can try this tubing first and only order: For Fluidic Connect Pro our propriatary ferrules.  For Fluidic Connect 4515 our propriatary flatbottom nuts and ferrules.  For Sideconnect our propriatary ferrules.  For optimal performance we recommend our complete connection kit, the FEP tubing might be a bit soft limiting the pressure rating.  MFCS We recommend the dafault Fluigent kits (MFCS™-EZ HIGH/LOW PRESSURE KIT, FLUIWELL KIT or P-CAP KIT )  The P-cab or FLUIWELL KIT already contains 0.5m or 1m 1/16" OD FEP tubing with a ID of 500µm, when you use only limited pressures, you can try this tubing first and only order: For Fluidic Connect Pro our propriatary ferrules.  For Fluidic Connect 4515 our propriatary flatbottom nuts and ferrules.  For Sideconnect our propriatary ferrules.  For optimal performance we recommend our complete connection kit, the FEP tubing might be a bit soft limiting the pressure rating. 

The metal strips (Spacers) are used for thin bottom chips and are also part of the holder for resealable flow cell's.
