Pack of 3 uncoated Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chips with a random rock network structure.

Our Enhanced Oil Recovery chips simulate porous media and are frequently used for research on the effects of gas injections in oil fields, emulsification chemical development, microbiological enhanced oil production, and modeling and development of computer simulation models.

The chips are available in three designs as listed below and can be supplied with or without a hydrophobic coating. By default glass behaves hydrophilic. The optional coating is applied on a best effort basis, so some areas where geometries are not interconnected may remain uncoated.

The random network is created using scripting and contains a combination of the following structures:

Channel width [µm] Channel depth [µm] Number of items on chip

70 20 1438
90 20 1412

Customer Questions
Which pressure and temperature can the EOR chip hold?
The EOR chip itself is manufactured from glass and can easily withstand up to 300⁰C. The chips are supplied in a black fluidic cartridge however, this cartridge can withstand up to 80⁰C.No sealant is used, the two layers of glass are fusion bonded together.The chip can withstand easily up to 100 bar. The external interfacing is more critical however. Our Fluidic Connect holder offers the largest pressure, up to 80 bars (maybe less at elevated temperatures). Please note that it might be helpful to practice a little with the Fluidic Connect holder first. You need to get the feeling to apply not too much force, which might break the chip, but enough to obtain sufficient sealing. It might be necessary to tighten a bit more when pressure and temperature are increased. Please remove the pressure before additional tightening.
I'm using the Fluidic Connect 4515 holder (part of high pressure bundle), what alignment and fluidic port should I use?
The fluidic ports are on positions 3,8Alignment can be done on positions 2,7 (or 4,9).
What's important in selection of a suitable microscope objective?
The objective working distance is a critical parameter for selection of an objective. See "Read More" for recommendations.
What is the roughness of the etched structures?
Wet etched structures are extremely smooth and have a roughness in Angstrom range. The structures are fully optical transparent.
