Achieve High Production Rates with Injection Molding

Injection molding is a key technology for the mass production of microfluidic chips. Thermoplastic materials are melted and injected under high pressure into customised molds. Precisely manufactured tools allow feature sizes in the low micrometre range.

Maximized Throughput

Injection molding excels in producing large quantities of microfluidic chips efficiently, ensuring you can meet demand without sacrificing quality or accuracy.

Stay on Budget

Ideal for large-scale production, this method keeps costs in check, ensuring your project progresses smoothly and economically.

Considerations for Choosing Injection Molding for Microfluidic Chip Production

The design of the mold is critical for the successful production of microfluidic chips. Consider the complexity of the microfluidic designs you intend to produce, including the precision of features and the ability of the molding process to accurately replicate these features.

Mold Design

Consider the lead time for mold design, production setup, and the actual manufacturing process. Injection molding can offer rapid production once the mold is created, but the initial setup time should be accounted for in your project timeline.

Lead Time

Evaluate the range of thermoplastic materials available for injection molding to ensure they meet the specific requirements of your application, such as chemical resistance, optical clarity, and biocompatibility.
