Dolomite,
a world leader in microfluidic design and manufacture, has introduced the glass
microfluidic Y-Junction Chip. Enabling liquid-liquid contact of immiscible fluid
streams, as well as investigations into the diffusion of molecules between parallel
laminar flow streams, the chip has extremely smooth channel surfaces for an
uninterrupted flow.
With a compact size of 22.5 x 15 mm, the Y-Junction Chip is compatible with
the Mitos Chip Holder H and the Mitos Edge Connector, facilitating ease of use.
A wide temperature and pressure range in combination with excellent chemical
compatibility enable a broad range of fluids to be used. Furthermore, excellent
spectral transmission facilitates high visibility, making access with microscopy
systems quick and easy.
A range of customised options enable the chip to be tailored to fulfil individual
user specifications. As such, it can be etched to a range of different depths,
and custom channel layouts can be specified. As the surface of the channel walls
has an effect on the fluid, the Y-Junction chip is available with hydrophilic,
hydrophobic, platinum, or gold coatings.

of microfluidic products available from Dolomite, including chips, connectors/interconnects,
pumps, valves and flow sensors, please visit www.dolomite-microfluidics.com.
