Flow Cells

Flow Cells

Flow cells offer countless applications in cell and gene manipulation, including genomics benefits from the latest flow cell technologies. SCHOTT Primoceler‘s Glass Micro Bonding can help manufacture high-end flow cell devices.

Key benefits

• No additives ›› Perfect gap control between layers
• No additives ›› Does not disrupt or affect the results
• High bonding strength ›› Greater pressure possible which leads to faster processes

Superior bonding strength

Higher bonding strength translates to more pressure and more speed. While the numeric value depends on the design, it’s safe to say that the difference is huge when compared to adhesives. This has been proven in a MIL Standard shear strength test. 

Precision heating reduces risk of damage

SCHOTT Primoceler’s Glass Micro Bonding delivers extremely precise heating, minimizing damage risk to enclosed active electronics. Sensitive coatings can also be applied next to the bonding zone because it is so small and carefully calculated.

Perfect gap control

The gap between the optical surface and the samples being tested varies due to the material quality and processing. With SCHOTT Primoceler‘s Glass Micro Bonding, the gap can be controlled within 1 um.

This makes demanding high end measurements more precise.
