Quick answer: Microfluidic Chips for Biological Testing covers surface treatments for wettability control. Prototypes ship in 5-10 working days.
Glass remains the reference material for microfluidics – solvent-proof, optically clean, and thermally stable. microfluidic chips for biological testing here are cell culture, organ-on-chip and droplet work, with surface treatments for wettability control.

Specification advice
Three items decide most of the cost and lead time on this work:
- 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.
Who orders this
The recurring buyers of microfluidic chips for biological testing: microfluidic devices (chips, manifolds, via plates, bonded stacks); laboratory instruments (cuvettes, sight glasses, stir-cell windows); led packaging (groove covers, phosphor carriers, package windows).

Common questions
Is there a minimum order for microfluidic chips for biological testing?
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.
