Applications:
Competitive Advantages of Glass Chip Manufacturing
Property | Glass | Injection Molding |
Flatness | Excellent | Prone to warping |
Optical Transparency | Excelling | Good |
Water Absorption | None | Material dependent |
Solvent Compatibility | Excellent | Good |
Hydrophobicity | Hydrophilic | Hydrophobic |
Out Gassing | None | Yes |
Mechanical Stability | Excellent | Good |
Surface Functionalization
Customize glass surfaces for your needs from increased hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity to adding surfaces charges using well-understood silanol-based chemistries.
Biocompatibility
The combination of low non-specific absorption, gas impermeability and biological sample compatibility has made glass one of the most popular substrates for microfluidics. Glass maintains the integrity of your biological samples so you can focus on signal rather than reducing background noise.
Exploration
Glass substrates can withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and are compatible with aggressive solvents. Push the boundaries of your scientific experiments with a substrate that empowers you to explore new frontiers.
