The straight channel chip in microtiter plate format is equipped with four labeled sets of 16 microchannels each, with the following dimensions:
- 2 mm width
- 150 µm height
- 18 mm length
Fluidic access is easily provided by conical openings of 2.5 mm diameter at either channel end.
To easily integrate a microfluidic assay into existing lab environments, we have developed a microfluidic platform with the outer dimensions of a standard microtiter plate. The SBS titer-plate format (85.48 mm x 127.76 mm) is a worldwide standard used by most pieces of equipment in the laboratory. The microtiter plates feature the spacing of the fluidic access holes of the laboratory standard and are compatible with the respective readers, allowing for a wide variety of different assays, including cell-based assays, hybridization assays, or small volume chemical synthesis. The channels can easily be filled via pipetting in the through-hole interfaces, manually or automated.
