Cap

An optically clear film to seal your device’s microfeatures.

Capped Devices

A capped device is thermally sealed with an optically clear film. Most caps are between 175 - 200 µm, for maximum compatibility with standard microscopes and imaging techniques. Cap options will vary depending on the selected fluidic layer material.

Uncapped Devices

Uncapped devices are not sealed, leaving your microfeatures open on one side. Uncapped devices can be useful if you intend to add reagents, modify surfaces, or cap the device with a different material than our standard options.
