Microfluidic Cells
A replaceable microfluidic cell built for your process — chip, holder, seals and connections for HPHT oil & gas, flow synthesis or biomedicine.
| Max conditions (HPHT) | up to 350 °C and 89 MPa |
|---|---|
| Versions | HPHT oil & gas, flow synthesis, biomedicine |
| Chip materials | silicon-glass, borosilicate glass, quartz, ceramics, stainless steel, Hastelloy, PDMS |
| PDMS version | low pressure only |
| Connections | 1/16″, 1/8″, NPT, HPLC, cone and custom |
| Seals | for aqueous, hydrocarbon, organic, aggressive and bio-media |
| Options | optical window, holder temperature control, single-use or reusable |
LABADVANCE develops the microfluidic cell both as a standalone engineered unit and as part of a complete system: chip and holder materials, seals, working volume, port count and fittings are chosen for the working medium, pressure, temperature and observation method.
Cells come in three versions. HPHT cells for oil and gas use silicon-glass chips and high-pressure holders for EOR, PVT observations, fracturing and multiphase flow studies — up to 350 °C and 89 MPa with an appropriately designed holder and plumbing. Flow-synthesis cells use glass, ceramic and metal chips, including Hastelloy, for solvents and aggressive media. PDMS cells for biomedicine use polymer chips for low-pressure work, cell protocols, droplet microfluidics and diagnostic device prototyping.
A cell can be modified, replaced, reproduced in series or adapted to an existing rig: to test a new hypothesis you change only the chip, the holder or the channel geometry — not the whole setup.
