Standard chip

We offer a variety of standard chips. The applications covered range from mixing and reaction to environmental and biological analyses.
All chips on this page have a size of 70 mm * 30 mm * 1.4 mm (thickness) and are made of borosilicate glass (a Pyrex equivalent).

  • Single Y type

    1. Main functions: Mixing, reaction, and laminar flow
      Two fluids join together in the channel.

      Common specifications
      width : 100μm
      Depth : 40μm
      Total number of openings: 3 (2 on the left side and 1 on the right side)

      (example)Complexation reaction
      Two different materials introduced through the two inlets are mixed and reacted in the channel.

      The back pressure increases, and therefore more pressure is required for ejection, with increasing length of the channel. If you give priority to the flow rate, short-channel chips are recommended. For experiments that involve prolonged reactions, long-channel chips are suitable.

      • ICC-SY05

        length after meeting the flows : 40mm

      • ICC-SY10

        length after meeting the flows : 80mm

      • ICC-SY15

        length after meeting the flows : 120mm

      • ICC-SY200

        length after meeting the flows : 200mm

      • ICC-SY500

        length after meeting the flows : 500mm

      • ICC-SY500MI

        * The long and winding mixing section provides better mixing effect.
        length after meeting the flows : 500mm

    Double Y type

    1. Solvent extraction, Separation, Laminar flow, Concentration
      If you want to create a two-phase flow, guided chips are recommended. The guide structure stabilizes the flow.

      Common specifications
      width : 100μm
      Depth : 40μm


      G type
      These chips feature a guided junction.
      width：160μm（100μm at the junction）
      Guide structure with 36-38μm height

      （example）Solvent extraction
      A solution containing a complex is passed from one inlet, and a solvent that extracts only the complex from another.

      The back pressure increases, and therefore more pressure is required for ejection, with increasing length of the channel. If you give priority to the flow rate, short-channel chips are recommended. For experiments that involve prolonged reactions, long-channel chips are suitable.

      • ICC-DY05
        （ICC-DY05G　with Guide structure）

        length after meeting the flows : 20mm

      • ICC-DY10
        （ICC-DY10G　 with Guide structure）

        length after meeting the flows : 80mm

      • ICC-DY15
        （ICC-DY15G　 with Guide structure）

        length after meeting the flows : 120mm

      • ICC-DY200
        　

        length after meeting the flows : 200mm

    I　Type（Double Line）

    1. Straight channels
      Recommended for microscopic observation of response of cultured cells, such as response to a stimulant

      • ICC-DI05

        width : 100μm
        depth : 40μm

    Single Y　with dam structure（Double Line）

    1. Immunoassay on Latex beads
      This chip features a dammed junction. (For the details of the dam structure, see the custom-made chips section.)

      • ICC-2CSK

        width : 210μm
        depth : 100μm
        Dam structure with 10 to 20μm 
        Total number of openings: 6 (3 on the left side and 3 on the right side)

    Single Y　 with a channel for second reaction

    1. A third fluid can be introduced after the joining of two fluids.
      Suitable for combination, separation, extraction, and experiments involving complicated reactions.ICC-KG01

      • ICC-KG01

        width : 100μm
        depth : 40μm

        length after meeting the flows :
        276mm(blue) before the 3rd flow is joined, 124mm(green) after that.

    Cross chip (With junctions having constriction shapes)

    1. Example function: Formation of droplets

      • ICC-DR35

        with junctions having constriction shapes
        width　　：260μm
        depth　　：30μm

    Cross chip

    1. Example function: Electrophoresis

      • ICC-DE05

        width : 50μm
        depth : 20μm

      Besides the channels for the micro fluidics, each chip has the channels to eliminate gas between glass plates when they are laminated.
      They have no bad effects for your experiments.
      The channel dimension may have about 10% of variation.
      The delivery is normally 4-7days.
