MICROFLUIDIC TOOL KIT™
THE MICROFLUIDIC TOOL KIT™ (µTK) IS A USER-CONFIGURABLE INSTRUMENT THAT
ALLOWS YOU, THE RESEARCHER, TO GET UP AND RUNNING QUICKLY WITH YOUR
ELECTROPHORESIS-BASED CHIP RESEARCH.

The µTK can be purchased as a full system, including high voltage power supplies, chip stage and
LIF detection, or as the Programmable High Voltage Power Supply alone. The latter can be combined
with your existing LIF, ECL, absorbance, mass spectrometry or other detection apparatus.

µTK COMPONENTS:
• Programmable High Voltage Power Supply
> Base electronics unit
> Compiled LabView™ software interface
> 2–8 independent +6 kV HV power supplies
> Optics control/data acquisition board
• Chip Stage
> Chip interface with Pt HV electrodes
and LIF detection system
> Light-tight box with laser & high voltage
safety interlocks
• LIF Detection Modules
> Red or green laser-induced fluorescence,
PMT detection
> Epiluminescent confocal microscope

µTK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS:

• Full Instrument
> Programmable HV Power Supply
> Chip stage
> Red or green LIF detection module
• Programmable HV Power Supply only
STANDARD MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS
THESE CHIPS FEATURE SIMPLE TWO-CHANNEL INTERSECTION DESIGNS AND ARE IDEALLY
SUITED TO A WIDE VARIETY OF CHEMICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSES BY MEANS OF
CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS WITH LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE.

FEATURES:
• Designs:
> Simple Cross and Twin T-100 µm
> Each available in a 4- and 8-port layout
4 PORT
> Custom versions available
• Low fluorescence Schott Borofloat™ glass
• Economical, off-the-shelf
• Compatible with:
> Upchurch NanoPort™ Assemblies
> Microfluidic Tool Kit

more information.
Micralyne’s chips and instrument provide the
tools needed for effective research and
instruction in the field of microfluidics.
RESEARCH
Together, the µTK and Standard Chips will get
your microfluidic chip research started. Simple
protocols can be explored with our economical
off-the-shelf chips and a suitably configured
µTK. Down the road, as new on-chip concepts
are generated, Protolyne® will allow you to
iterate through progressive designs quickly.
Now you can focus your efforts on the
science and leave the chip and instrument
manufacture to Micralyne.

TEACHING
The µTK is an ideal teaching instrument.
Together with our Standard Chips, the µTK
can be used in undergraduate and graduate
teaching labs to illustrate a wide variety of
useful concepts relating to on-chip capillary
electrophoresis. Micralyne is happy to provide
advice regarding course material – please
contact us for more details.
