Rapidly established, user-friendly connections
Connections are non-permanent
Allows for tighter density of microchip ports
Wide variety of fittings or adapters can be used
As the approach does NOT use adhesion, fittings are reusable
Connections are compatible with all substrate materials including PDMS, glass, silicon and plastics
Connections remain leak-tight at greater than 500 psi
Highly reproducible connections
Can seal at any location on the surface or side of the device
Top-side and back-side alignment
Connections are lower dead-volume than conventional approaches
Can be used for final performance assessment, and for chemistry treatment of devices during fabrication

Mount : The connectors mount to a flat surface with either a screw (1/4-20 or M6) or a magnet.
End Attachment : The end attachment portion of the connector is specific for a tubing or adapter size. This attachment is removable and can be easily exchanged. Please see below for example end attachments.
Compression Seal : The connector makes a compression seal between a gasket, held by the connector arm, and the microdevice. The amount of compressive force applied can be adjusted. Depending on the microdevice substrate material, the compression seal can remain leak tight at greater than 500 psi.
