What size and complexity can be achieved on liquid handling manifolds
Subject to the application, manifolds can be produced in a range of sizes, shapes and complexities.
The three typical variables in a plastic manifold are the external dimensions, the number of layers and complexity of the internal tracks and chambers.
Carville have produced plastic manifolds in sizes ranging from 25mm (1.0”) up to 750mm square (30”). The thickness of these manifolds will vary depending upon the number of layers and track dimensions. Carville have produced complex manifolds with 7 layers and track dimensions ranging from 150 micron (0.006”) up to 25mm (1.0).
