Interfaces enable leak-free connections to external pumps and sensors. The luer-lock port is compatible with male luer-lock fittings and soft elastomer tubing. The 1/4-28 port is compatible with male 1/4-28 fittings and rigid capillary tubing. Check out the tubing and fitting guide for a detailed comparison between the two options.

The pipette interface is compatible with fluid handlers that use standard 50, 200, or 1000 microliter pipette tips.

Luer-lock ports must have a safe area with a radius of 6.25 mm. The safe area of any two pieces of hardware must never overlap. Note that mating male luer-lock fittings may require greater clearance. Check the specifications provided by your fitting supplier.

1/4-28 ports must have a square safe area with a side length of 9.00 mm. The safe area of any two pieces of hardware must never overlap. Some male 1/4-28 fittings may require greater clearance. Check the specifications provided by your fitting supplier.

Pipette interfaces must have a square safe area with a side length of 4.50 mm. The safe area of any two pieces of hardware must never overlap.

A via connects to the center of every interface. The diameter (D) of the via’s machined portion must be between 0.4 mm and 1 mm.

The distance between the top surface of molded microfeatures and the base of an interface must be at least 1.00 mm.

Follow the guidelines for via design to connect your fluidic layer and hardware.
