Dolomite has announced the release of a microfluidic connector that offers fast connection of up to eight high-pressure microfluidic channels.
As part of the Mitos range, the circular connector will enable integration of microfluidic devices into new and existing systems.
Microfluidics, a technology also known as lab-on-a-chip, enables very small-scale fluid control and analysis, allowing instrument manufacturers to develop smaller, cost-effective and powerful systems.
With lab-on-a-chip technology, entire complex chemical management and analysis systems are created in a microfluidic chip and interfaced with, for example, the Mitos circular connector.
The Mitos connector has been designed to ensure a fast, reliable connection to the surface of microfluidic chips.
Manufactured in PTFE and perfluoroelastomer, the connector is chemically resistant and can be located anywhere on a microfluidic chip.
It also has the ability to handle high pressure, up to 20 bar.
The connections are very close together, roughly 3mm apart.
