Abstract

No Longer Cost Prohibitive, Circular Channel Chips Provide Many Benefits to Your Consumable Device

Lyndon Stephens, CEO & Founder, Hummingbird Nano, Inc.

Hummingbird Nano’s new manufacturing technology enables features and performance in microfluidic chips that conventional methods have had difficulty in achieving.  These include circular channel cross sections, solid form chips (no layers, no lids, no bonding), side-wall inputs, integrated connectors, ultra-smooth channels and no expensive tooling.  The net result for users is better flow, better detection, less chip loss due to channel fouling, less reagent use, higher cell survivability and less time to process.   This presentation gives a brief overview of the manufacturing process, reviews test results for the chips and discusses their performance benefits.
