Precision Machining

Building a practical microfluidics system requires more than microfluidic devices/chips alone. Product development services can often involve the integration of fluidics and thermal management systems along with other technologies, such as electrodes, thin film heating elements and optic lens or other sensing elements.  According to the application requirements from customers, Aurora Pro Scientific will assist you from early stage research through to process controlled manufacturing of integrated microfluidic components and modules by selecting appropriate micro fabrication techniques and materials to realize the benefits of microfluidics. We provide:

  • Device design and prototyping
  • Contract device manufacturing 
  • Device metrology and QC 
  • Full solution (including components and modules)
  • Fluidic interface design and manufacturing
  • Design for manufacturability, reliability and serviceability 

The options of substrate materials may include silicon, glass (fused silica, quarts, borosilicate and photosensitive glass), thermoplastics (table below), and hybrid materials (CaF2, stainless steel etc.). The fabrication techniques will be coined according to the design complexity and substrate material properties.  We provide both enclosed microfluidic chips and/or microfluidic layers for subsequent surface treatment.  Awesome Pricing and Flexibility on Small Quantities:  small volume manufacturing from a few to up to thousands of units is available before the transition to the large scale production.
