NanoPort Assemblies are the frst commercially
available products to provide consistent fluid connections for
chip-based analyses. Once attached, NanoPort connections can
withstand pressures to 1,000 psi (69 bar).* NanoPorts will adhere to
silicon, quartz, glass and some polymers.
All NanoPort components are made of inert, biocompatible PEEK
polymer (nuts and ports) and Perlast
®
perfuoroelastomer (ferrules and
gaskets). These products bond easily to chip surfaces with the provided
Preformed Adhesive Rings (see Application Note on the following
page). Their unique design also prevents adhesive contamination of
the fuid path. AndNanoPort connections add no additional volume to
the fuid path, virtually eliminating dead volume traditionally associated
with chip-based fuid connections.
Our NanoPort Reservoir Assembly is designed for open well
applications, such as CE.
*Except the N-333 NanoPort Assembly, which is rated to 500 psi (34.5 bar).

1 hour
Place clamped Ports in oven at a temperature of 165 – 177 ºC (330 – 350 ºF)
for one hour to develop a complete bond between the Port and
the substrate.
