    Application possibilities

    This product is designed for observation purposes and offers sublime optical performance in combination with microscopy. This allows high resolution imaging. A regular flow cell offers a limited observation length, using a serpentine shaped channel substantial channel length is created. This allow much longer observation time.  

    Research examples can be for instance:

    • Observation of cell interaction with media, like for instance exposure to toxins or active substances.
    • Research on interaction between liquids
    • Observation of a reaction
    • Use as collection reservoir, for instance combined with a PCR reactions

    Unique selling point

    • The channels are extremly smooth and are fully optical transparent.
    • Glass offers sublime optical transparency and low autofluorescence.
    • When fluorescent markers are used we have also a D263-Bio version available for even lower autofluorescence in some critical wave length areas.
    • Thin bottom version are compatible with a #1 (11003694  or #1.5 (11003040) coverslip
    • Different size available for a optimal match with cell size used or optimal liquid volume.

    Customer Questions
    How do I clean my uncoated chips?
    1) Flush an alkaline solution through the channels, like 1 M sodium hydroxide in water. 2) A water bath with ultrasonic agitation can be used to remove particulated matters, keep energy levels initially low to prevent potential damages. 3) Glass microchips can be heated (e.g. 400°C) causing any organic material on the glass surface to degrade. Try to use lower temperatures first because burning the content could make it stick. 4) Concentrated sulfuric acid works well to dissolve organic material, such as fibres, that are difficult to remove with alkaline solutions.

    Can this flow cell be customized?
    Absolutely! Micronit is a key supplier for flow cells in the Next Generation Sequencing market and can manufacture flow cells competely according to your specific requirements. What can be customized? The channel shape. The channel height and width.For wet etching its important to consider that channel height and minimal channel width are related.<br>{minimal channel width} = 2 * {etch depth} + {initial mask opening, typcial 5-10µm}Larger aspect ratios (relation between channel depth and width) are possible using dry etching. For this, a glass/silicon combination is most common. Choice of material. For instance, fused silica is a good option when UV light is used. Schott D263 bio can be a good alternative for some specific fluorescent labels. Surface flatness. We can provide ultra flat surfaces.
