Manufacturing Process
1. Testing Method
(1) Chemical Composition Analysis - Verified using techniques
such as GDMS or XRF to ensure compliance with purity requirements.
(2) Mechanical Properties Testing - Includes tensile strength,
yield strength, and elongation tests to assess material performance.
(3) Dimensional Inspection - Measures thickness, width, and
length to ensure adherence to specified tolerances.
(4) Surface Quality Inspection - Checks for defects such as
scratches, cracks, or inclusions through visual and ultrasonic examination.
(5) Hardness Testing - Determines material hardness to confirm
uniformity and mechanical reliability.
Please refer to the SAM testing procedures for detailed information.
Machining Microfluidic Chip FAQs
Q1. What are microfluidic chips?
Microfluidic chips are small devices that manipulate small
volumes of fluids, often at the microliter or nanoliter scale. These chips are commonly
used in applications like lab-on-a-chip, chemical analysis, diagnostics, and
biomedical research.
Q2. What materials are used in microfluidic chip
manufacturing?
Microfluidic chips are typically made from materials such as
PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), glass, silicon, PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane),
and quartz. The choice of material depends on the application and required
properties like transparency, biocompatibility, and ease of fabrication.
Q3. How are microfluidic chips fabricated?
Microfluidic chips are fabricated using techniques like
photolithography, laser cutting, CNC machining, and soft lithography. The
process often involves creating microchannels, chambers, and other structures
to control fluid flow.
