Dolomite Leads The Way In Double Emulsion Research - New Chip Holder Allows Direct Coupling Of Microfluidic Chips

Designed for use with the Mitos Edge Connector 4-way, the Mitos Double Chip Holder H provides eight fluidic connections to 1.6mm OD tubing. Quick to connect and disconnect, the Mitos Double Chip Holder H operates over a wide temperature range (-15⁰C to 150⁰C) and pressure range (up to 10bar) and offers excellent chemical resistance allowing a broad range of solvents and chemicals to be used.
One key application of the Mitos Double Chip Holder H is the generation of double emulsions. Double emulsions have many important applications in nutrition, cosmetics and the pharmaceutical industry, for example allowing an active ingredient or a cell to be enclosed inside a protective outer shell.

Creating a double emulsion requires both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces in different parts of the system, which in a single device can be complex and expensive to achieve. The Mitos Double Chip Holder H provides a simple, time efficient and cost-effective solution. It allows direct coupling of a hydrophobic chip and a hydrophilic chip, enabling users to generate both water-oil-water and oil-water-oil droplets by simply switching the chips around.
