Fluidic Dead Volume (<2µL)

Motorized high-precision syringe pumping restricted dead volumes to near zero.

Overview

Wasting precious biomarker samples or expensive synthesized reagents due to pipeline dead volume is an engineering failure. We optimize every geometric angle of our microfluidic manifolds to guarantee maximum utilization.

Architecture & Design

Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we eliminate "dead zones" in our capillary channels. By pairing centrifugal siphon dynamics with precisely patterned hydrophobic/hydrophilic surface gradients, the sample menisci are propelled with supreme accuracy. This allows complex 12-stage assays to executed with less than 2µL of internal fluid loss.
