Integrated Metal Electrode Microfluidic Chips: Turnkey Design & Packaging Solutions
Integrating microelectrodes into microfluidic chips is a core technology for enabling active fluid manipulation, real-time in-situ detection, and intelligent analysis, significantly expanding the functional boundaries of microfluidic platforms.
We specialize in overcoming the complex challenge of heterogeneous integration between flexible materials (such as PDMS) and metal electrodes. We provide comprehensive, end-to-end solutions spanning design, fabrication, and packaging to help you achieve technological breakthroughs in cell sorting, precision diagnostics, and environmental monitoring.
Core Technical Advantages
  • Overcoming Packaging Bottlenecks: We resolve industry pain points regarding poor bonding and leakage at the PDMS-metal interface, ensuring high-pressure seal integrity and chip stability.

  • Premium Noble Metal Coatings: Standard options include Au (Gold) and Pt (Platinum) coatings, delivering superior electrical conductivity and excellent biocompatibility for biological essays.

  • Advanced Electric Field Control: Enables advanced on-chip operations including electroosmotic flow (EOF), electroporation, electrophoretic separation, and high-precision cell trapping.

Common Chip Architectures
  • PDMS-to-Electrode Substrate Bonded Chips: The industry-standard platform for biological experiments, combining PDMS optical clarity with substrate conductivity.

  • Interdigitated Electrode (IDE) Chips: Maximizes electrode surface area, serving as the core configuration for impedance analysis, cell sensing, and dielectrophoresis (DEP).

  • Lithium Niobate Integrated PDMS Chips: Fuses surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology with microfluidics for ultra-precise particle sorting and fluid mixing.
