An example of a specified biotechnical application is a set of splitterchips, making eight or sixteen identical reaction samples from one single input. The chips are used for a fully automatic sampling area with proteins on DNA fragments.
Process
In the input a fluid substance 'A' is brought in. Due to capillary forces and gravity (platform equity is very important), the substance will be equally divided over the eight or sixteen sample areas. By bringing in different substances B, C, D etc. in the different sampling areas, reactions can be shown or measured under a microscope.
Specifications
| Chip Size | 30 x 45 x 2.2 mm |
