Microfluidic chips
Microfluidic chips for research and product development
Compare PDMS, glass, COC, and PMMA microfluidic chips for research, assay development, droplet generation, cell culture, and custom prototyping.
Selection answer
How should you choose?
Choose a chip material around the fluid, optical method, channel geometry, required volume, and development stage. PDMS is practical for early soft-lithography work; glass supports optical and solvent-intensive workflows; COC and PMMA can suit cartridge-oriented development when the manufacturing path is considered early.
