从原型设计到全面生产的微流体设备快速制造
Potomac’s extensive array of microfabrication tools and technologies has revolutionized the accessibility of microfluidic devices. By harnessing the power of lasers, micro-CNC, hot embossing, and micro-3D printing, we have shattered the longstanding barriers that once hindered microfluidics from widespread adoption. Our commitment is to deliver innovative technologies that accelerate the development process, significantly reduce prototype costs, and provide a tailored customization approach. With a strategy focused on meeting deadlines and achieving target production pricing, we have made microfluidic devices more accessible than ever before
With a focus on speed and efficiency, we initially collaborate with the customer to thoroughly understand their specific requirements and develop a customized manufacturing process for each layer of the microfluidic devices. Depending on the feature sizes, tolerances, and materials required, this may involve a variety of techniques including lasers, hot embossing, injection molding, micro-CNC, among others. We pay particular attention to downstream processes such as bonding, ensuring that each layer is produced in a way that guarantees optimal results during the final assembly. Our approach is tailored to deliver speed without compromising quality, making advanced microfluidics more accessible and practical for our customers.

Also From the Goodfellow Group
Microfluidic chip performance is directly influenced by substrate selection. Goodfellow supplies microfluidic-grade polymer films — including COC, PMMA, and polycarbonate — as well as optical borosilicate glass and PDMS precursor materials, in precision thicknesses suitable for chip fabrication.
Source your microfluidic substrate from Goodfellow.
Finished microfluidic devices can be assessed for channel dimensional accuracy, bonding layer integrity, surface chemistry, and biocompatibility through Goodfellow’s ISO 17025-accredited materials testing division.
Validate your microfluidic chip before clinical, diagnostic, or research deployment.
