Hose/Capillary connector without dead volume
The stuffing cone is compressed between the device body and the hose/capillary to ensure sealing and fixation

Fluidic Connection |
Machining for Cnct32 Connector (Bottom view) |
The extracting force applied on the connector is only 0,3 N for a connector with a terminal hole of 200 µm and at a pressure of 100b. No gasket is needed with polymer materials

High Pressure Connector
|
|
Micro valve by screwing
The upper channel is closed by PDMS stuffed inside it with the screw
|
Micro Valve by Screwing |
Machined upper channel with a 150µm hemispherical mill. |
Pressure Micro Valve
The membrane is plated on the upper channel by a pressure in the connector
Smooth surface capability of the machining makes possible to close the channel without excessive pressure
|
Pressure Valve |
Interrupted channel connected to upper channel via two 100µm holes drilled with OpticMac5 |
Channel Stopper
PDMS is Stuffed in the channel by the Screw via a conical machining on the top of the channel.

Membrane Integration
Application:
•Species filtering,
•Electrical connection through Nafion membrane without liquid flow that avoids bubbling inside of the channel
•Molecular concentrator with dialysis membrane type
•Channel filling with particles
