Custom Chips
The first step towards designing
your own custom microfluidic chip
UMOSTM
–
Protea’s custom microfluidic design software
The
potential of microfluidics has
reached a point where researchers are in
need of a quality and cost-effective partner to provide expert prototyping of
new designs to achieve your research objectives. Protea has pioneered a
new way to accomplish
this.
-
Utilizing our
UMOSTM (universal microfluidic ordering system), any researcher can
submit their design for production. Best of all, there is only a
two (2) chip minimum order and turnaround time is typically 7-10
business days ARO.
Some additional
features of our microfluidic chip production capability:
- We can supply your laboratory with
additional information to help make an outstanding publication
including SEM
images,
profilometer scans, digital microscope images, as well as rulers and
names for image identification. Simply add any of these on as an
additional request.
-
No more waiting
for quarterly design submissions with limited features. No more
trying to figure out how to connect the device to the real world. Now you have a partner to help you in your research endeavors.
To start
designing your own device, please first read
“UMOS directions”. This
will give you all the information you need to get started. If you have
any questions before starting, just drop us an email at your
convenience.

description of how to proceed with your custom design chip.
Next, go to
“UMOS”. Here you can draw the design you want and save it to your hard
disk for future reference. Send an email
with this file attached to
[email protected] and an engineer from Protea will get back to
you to finalize the design and offer any suggestions. After you submit
the final drawing, your design goes into production and will be
shipped to you in about 7-10 days. We are always producing devices, and
you can submit a drawing any time 24/7.
Information about
standard features are located inside “UMOS directions”. This will help
sort out which feature to pick to get the job done. For additional
information, please see the Resources page for information about
established ideas.
