Custom Glass Microfluidic Chips – channels 10 um – 1 mm, chips to 100 x 100 mm. No minimum order; DFM review included with every RFQ.
Glass remains the reference material for microfluidics – solvent-proof, optically clean, and thermally stable. custom glass microfluidic chips here are built to your channel layout from DXF or GDSII, with channels 10 um – 1 mm, chips to 100 x 100 mm.

DFM notes from the shop floor
Before sending the RFQ, check these against your drawing:
- 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.
The full rules live in our tolerance design guide and holes and edges design guide.
Typical applications
custom glass microfluidic chips shows up across medical diagnostics (flow cells, slides, microplate bottoms, cuvette windows); mems devices (cap wafers, TGV substrates, motion-sensor lids); industrial displays (touch covers, gauge windows, printed bezels).
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.

Common questions
Is there a minimum order for custom glass 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.
