Mainly microfluidics technologies used polymer based materials (elastomers, thermoplastics) for the low entry cost and the fast protoyping capabilities. However, glass remain the best material for extreme conditions experiments with a higher chemical and bulge pressure resistances capabilities than conventional polymers.  It is also perfectly polyvalent for various kind of applications requiring optics, cell culturing, or surface grafting.    

Chemical resistance 

(HNO3, H2SO4~15mol/L)

Optical benefits

(DUV/UV, VIS and IR)

Sensors/transductors compatible 

(dielectric)

Graffting capabilities

(20°C<Θ<180°C)

Bacteriological control

(No-cytotoxic, Autoclaving)

Lower temperature - Higher performance

Electrode delamination - no organics

Klearia’s patented low thermal bonding glass process at temperature <300°C  improved the quality of materials embedment in microfluidic channels conducting to high performance sensors and transductors.

Our electrodes are integrated on the channel side and deported to easily take the electrical contact.
