MicroFluidics

Controlling Fluid Behavior with Advanced Materials and Processes
Microfluidic is the science of designing, manufacturing, and formulating devices and processes that deal with volumes of fluid on the order of nano liters. Fralock’s combination of extensive materials expertise and precision manufacturing capabilities makes us a good partner for microfluidic applications of this type. Microfluidics revolves around the precise manipulation of fluids within geometries where at least one characteristic dimension is on the sub-millimeter scale. At these scales, physical properties such as surface tension, fluidic resistance and energy transfer play dominate roles and can present both challenges and benefits depending on the application.
