    Micro Fluidic Devices

    Carville began the manufacture of micro fluidic manifolds in 2002. These early manifolds were used in

    Carville produce a wide range of micro fluidic liquid handling manifolds for use in the biotech and clinical diagnostic sectors. These manifolds may be part of a larger system or be designed as a disposable micro fluidic chip.

    Due to the nature of reagents used in clinical chemistry and biotech applications, Carville has developed a new HAB technique to produce manifolds in materials such as Polycarbonate (PC), Polysulphone (PSU) and Poluetherimide (PEI).

    Carville currently produce plastic micro fluidic chips with small track sizes down to 150 microns, (0.006”). These chips are used in micro fluidic diagnostic applications.
