Integration chips

The integration chips are formed by two plastic plates with predefined micro-chambers and micro-channels in both plastic plates. On each plate, an elastomeric thin film was assembled to ensure good sealing when clamped. They are typically used for reversible integration of different types of micro elements including  the micro filter, cell culture patch, microelectrodes, MEMS chip etc. After fluidic processing with the chip, the integrated elements can be released for other  operations such as microscopy observation,  in situ staining, etc.
