• Technology Solutions

  The approach to product development offered by Fluence is highly versatile using principles developed by the electronics industry. Components and modules can be built with interconnecting functions integrated into multilevel or multilayer boards to minimise component size or can be built up in the same way the electronic industry populates the surface of a printed circuit board with electrically connected components. Boards can be constructed with horizontal fluidic, electrical and optical circuitry; with vertical interconnections (holes, vias, light guides to external components). This section describes the versatility of the building blocks available to design for manufacture components, modules and systems. Options are detailed for micro and nano architecture of microfluidic channels and chambers, materials of construction,. Milli and microfluidic channels and chambers architecture, materials of construction, surface wetting and functionalisation, multilayer microfluidic modules and two examples describing how multilayering can used in high throughput applications for high density microfluidic connections Read More
