Injection Molding Microfluidic Chip Mold Description
Injection molding technology is an
ideal solution for the mass production of microfluidic plastic chips, offering
efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness. This manufacturing process
involves injecting molten plastic into a precision mold, which is then cooled
and cured to form the final microfluidic chip. Designed for high-volume
production, injection molding ensures the consistent production of chips with
precise sizes and shapes, guaranteeing the reliability and stability required
for biomedical, chemical analysis, and laboratory research applications.
