Harrick Plasma Cyclic olefin polymers (COP) and copolymers (COC) have emerged as leading materials for advanced microfluidic and bioanalytical devices. Their popularity is driven by a unique combination of properties, including excellent optical transparency, low...
Harrick Plasma → Applications → Life Sciences → Microfluidics Plasma cleaning and activation are the near-universal first step for working with PMMA in microfluidics. Exposing PMMA to oxygen or air plasma breaks surface polymer chains and grafts oxygen-containing...
Harrick Plasma → Applications Silicone elastomers are widely used in medical devices and soft robotic systems because of their flexibility, chemical stability, and ease of fabrication. Examples include breast implants, urinary catheters, neural shunts, pacemaker...
Harrick Plasma → Applications Hydrogels are hydrophilic, polymerized networks with high biocompatibility. Hydrogels trap water and other fluids, making them ideal for drug delivery, cell seeding, and tissue engineering applications. Hydrogel fabrication relies on...
Harrick Plasma → News & Research Flexible polymer-based sensors offer a non-invasive and cost-effective alternative to traditional diagnostic procedures like biopsies or blood tests. These sensors are easy to use and can be worn on or near the skin. One class of...
Harrick Plasma → You searched for The study of microgravity’s effects on cells has become increasingly significant as long-duration space missions become more likely. Since actual microgravity environments, such as aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are...
