Ordering microfluidic chips and devices online
In the webshop, standard glass chips and other microfluidic devices can be ordered, which results in quick handling and delivery of the products
The Microfluidic EOF Kit contains two glass microfluidic chips (with or without integrated electrodes), a chip holder enabling electrical connections and high voltage cables.
The integrated safety interlock switch ensures that the high voltage sequencer cannot be started without the cover placed on the chip holder.
Hence, the Microfluidic EOF kit enables to work safely with high voltage.
The bottom of the chip holder is open, making it possible to put it on an inverted microscope for optical inspection or detection.
Both Microfluidic EOF Kits can be used for optical or fluorescence detection.
Moreover, the Microfluidic EOF Kit 4515E enables contactless conductivity detection, for instance with on-chip capillary electrophoresis, facilitated by the high voltage electrodes on the microfluidic chips.
Capillary electrophoresis is a separation technique that, for instance, has been very successful in the analysis of DNA fragments.
Micronit will show the Microfluidic EOF Kit 4515E during Pittcon 2007, the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy.
