Borofloat 33 Microfluidic Chips

Borofloat 33 Microfluidic Chips: to-drawing tolerances with inspection reports. No MOQ, prototypes in 5-10 days, DFM review with every RFQ.

Borofloat 33 Microfluidic Chips

Quick answer: Borofloat 33 Microfluidic Chips covers low autofluorescence, anodic and fusion bonding. Prototypes ship in 5-10 working days.

Every chip project starts with a channel layout. Send DXF or GDSII and borofloat 33 microfluidic chips come back as quoted geometry – low autofluorescence, anodic and fusion bonding.

Getting the drawing right

The shop-floor rules that matter here:

  • Channel cross-sections are process-specific: etched channels are lens-shaped, machined ones rectangular with corner radii. State which your CFD model assumed.
  • Over-specification is the quiet budget killer: a 20/10 scratch-dig face costs roughly three times an 80/50 face, so grade each surface individually.

For the complete framework, see the tolerance design guide and the holes and edges design guide.

Application context

The recurring buyers of borofloat 33 microfluidic chips: aerospace optics (sensor windows, star-tracker flats, radiation-tolerant ports); semiconductor equipment (view ports, wafer carriers, plasma rings, chamber windows); laser systems (windows, beam splitters, debris shields).

The fastest route to a quote is geometry: use the 3D builder below, draw a dimensioned 2D drawing from it, or open the site-wide custom glass machining 3D + 2D builder for fully custom parts.

Engineers scoping this work usually also review surface quality guide, custom ITO glass, infrared windows.

Buyer questions, answered

Is there a minimum order for borofloat 33 microfluidic chips?

No. Single prototypes are accepted, and pricing steps down at 10, 100 and 1,000 pieces.

How fast can prototypes ship?

Machined prototypes ship in 5 – 10 working days. Coated or bonded parts add 1 – 2 weeks depending on queue slots.

What files do you need for a quote?

A dimensioned PDF plus DXF or STEP geometry. If only a sketch exists, our drawing review service formalizes it before quoting.

Do parts ship with inspection data?

Dimensional reports, surface certificates and material certs per melt are available; specify the level on the RFQ.
