Sample Preparation
Simple Sample Preparation
with the Norcada UltiFlow
NORCADA UltiFlow is a bench-top instrument for surface preparation in NanoPore, nanofluidics, and in-situ microscopy applications. It uses light-based technology to activate and hydrophilize surfaces, producing clean, wettable surfaces that remain effective for up to one hour after treatment.
The system’s standard chip trays can process one to four chips per run, with two standard tray options and additional custom configurations available.
Each UltiFlow unit is manufactured, cleaned, and tested in cleanrooms, and includes the accessories needed for MEMS-based applications in proteomics, genomics, virus and disease detection, microscopy, and fundamental physics and biology research. Sample- and chip-handling parts can be cleaned easily using a simple ultrasonic bath.
