The self-sealing and releasable chip Fluidic 745 can be mounted liquid tight on flat and clean surfaces (e.g. glass slide) by applying a homogenous pressure on the surface. For this task, respective handling frames are at hand to allow for a convenient operation of the chips. 

For some tasks it is desired to mount a microfluidic device on a surface and remove it afterwards for further operations. This might be the case, if an array on a glass surface should be further processed or if specimens should be removed from the microfluidic device. microfluidic ChipShop’s self-sealing and releasable chip addresses this task: With a soft component being part of the microfluidic device a liquid tight sealing on planar and clean surfaces can be achieved by a certain pressure. Removal of the microfluidic chip from the glass device can be done easily after completion of the fluidic operation. Next to the microfluidic chip a respective handling frame is at hand.
