Microfluidic chips via Klearia

25 January 2024

Our customized microfluidic glass chips are manufactured in cleanroom thanks to a photolitography process coupled to a wet etching in a HF based solution.

Moreover, our glass microfluidics chips are sealed thanks to a low-thermal bonding process, with temperatures below 300°C. This process was developed and patented during the PhD thesis of Clément Nanteuil, the CEO of Klearia, in 2010.

Customization and quality of features

Coupling photolitography with wet etching process offer a large range of design’s customization with an ideal  roughness and flatness for applications requiring optical observations through a microscope like life sciences for example.

Sensitive materials embedment

Lower temperatures reduce the risk of damaging sensitive materials or components embedded within the chips, making the process suitable for a wide range of applications involving sensors and actuators. Ideal for the manufacturing of Lab-on-chips.
