New biocompatible polymer for Cell culture & Organ-on-chips

Flexdym^TM Polymer Solution is flexible, transparent and USP Class VI polymer biocompatible.

Within a fast, easy and inexpensive microstructuration method, microfluidic devices are fabricated in less 1 min. Furthermore microfabrication can be performed using a hot-embossing machine or a very simple press equipment, downstream Flexdym^TM is amenable for rapid manufacturing technology such as injection molding, roll-to-roll, etc. Either on glass, various polymer and for monolithic devices, your microfluidic devices can be assembled and bonded easily without surface treatments and pressure loads, thanks to the Flexdym^TM mechanical properties (i. e. Young Modulus 1.15 MPa). Sealing can be achieved either on a simple hot plate and even at room-temperature and sustains liquid pressure up to of 2 bar.

Therefore, you can provide a seamless pipeline of microfabrication and bonding from your very fast prototyping needs towards high-throughput technologies, bringing clear benefits for your microfluidic development and further production transfer.
