Proposal and Case Studiesof Tapes and Film

End-to-end support from microfluidic channel fabrication to packaging

Customer's Challenge

Customer wants end-to-end production covering the processing, lamination, and packaging of microfluidic channels with circuit patterns.

CSTEC's Proposal

To manufacture microfluidic devices, it is necessary to produce the channel substrate, the base plastic plate, and the double-sided adhesive tape used for bonding them together. For the channel substrate, we used a CCD camera press system to adjust positioning during processing, and then bonded it to the plastic plate using double-sided adhesive tape with microchannel patterns formed by laser processing.
For packaging, we designed and manufactured custom trays in-house, allowing us to deliver fully assembled products.
At CSTEC, we can handle a wide range of processes by working with customer-supplied materials. In addition to processing, we offer assembly, deaeration, coating, lot marking by ink-jet printing, tray packaging, and aluminum pouch packaging.
By entrusting us with both microfluidic processing and these additional steps, customers can reduce costs and lead times. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
