Microfluidics Technologies

CPS Fluidics is the principal provider of custom microfluidic devices. These devices automate and miniaturize complex assay protocols that are usually done manually. We utilize a wide variety of soft and hard materials to achieve the desired properties and price point for our clients.  


The decades of research and development of our technology have enabled us to customize each system for every client. Once we have assessed your needs, we carefully consider the materials, designs, and features required for every specific situation while remaining affordable.


Some of our manufacturing technologies:

  • Laser cut films such as silicone, pressure sensitive adhesives and plastics
  • Glass and plastic machining are a good option to create larger channels and features
  • Hot embossing and PDMS casting to obtain micron level precision
  • Our custom-made alignment fixtures enable us to create multi-layer assemblies which allows a more compact and denser microfluidic device


What It Does


We create microfluidic channels that allow the user to take nanoliters of materials and, in a fluidic schematic, manipulate extremely controlled volumes of samples and reagents. By using the flexibility of the PDMS membranes, we can regulate flow between fluidic ports using microvalves and micropumps. 


Microfluidics also reduces the possibility of cross-contamination and preserves the integrity of any test conducted with microfluidic devices — also a significant factor in lowering costs.


PRODUCT BENEFITS AND FEATURES


 Decreases Sample and Reagent Consumption

In this replicating progressive assay protocol, the user can make a significant reduction in custom reagent usage. The result is a decrease in wasted products — this means smaller quantities are required, preserving precious samples for further processing.

 Shortens Time of Experiments

 Microfluidic devices radically improve assay protocols by reducing measuring times, improving test sensitivity, and generating higher selectivity and superior repeatability. Speed and accuracy are improved, and there is a decrease in human error. Furthermore, manual manipulations of complex assay protocols no longer waste valuable time.

Reduces Overall Application Costs

There are multiple ways microfluidic systems reduce costs. Besides the decrease in sample consumptions and limiting waste, the cost of production is low. As a result, our devices are highly affordable.

Who It Helps

Microfluidic devices are often referred to as a “lab-on-a-chip.” These systems provide a unique ability to transport, mix, separate, and store fluids at nanoliter volumes or smaller. They process low-volume fluids to achieve high-throughput screenings.


Those who would apply this technology to their procedures are looking to improve experiment precision, run multiple analyses concurrently, and obtain samples with lower detection limits. Microfluidics is a crucial tool for science research and biotechnologies.


CPS Fluidics provides custom product solutions to assist clients in improving their processes and assay protocols using our microfluidic devices. A few practical applications of these devices include molecular biology, DNA sequencing, blood screening, cell counting and sorting, and organ-on-a-chip.
