Welcome to Takasago Electric, Inc., a leading manufacturer of valves, pumps and manifolds
Takasago Electric Manifolds and Microfludic Chips
The use of a manifold for the plumbing between individual valves and pumps can bring compact installation of components, a decrease in plumbing and a reduction in flow-path length. We can propose manifolds to meet your requirements by variations such as material and manufacturing processes etc. Chips with fine channels can offer offering competitive prices in mass production quantities through bonding injection-moulded plastic plates or resin films. For this reason, these chips are suitable for use as disposable testing chips.
List of Manifolds and Microfludic Chips
Manifolds
Standard Manifolds
Our standard range consists of line-type manifolds mounted with EXV series, STV series and WTA series valves. These products achieve a shorter delivery time compared to custom-made manifold valve units.
Customized Manifolds
Using our precise processing machines, we manufacture customized manifolds according to your requirements. In addition to solenoid valves and pumps, sensors, filters, or fittings can also be mounted on the customized manifolds. We are pleased to offer you manifolds with flow channel configuration suitable to applications.
Bonded PTFE Manifold
This is a 100% PTFE manifold, with internal channels made by the bonding of two layers of modified PTFE. The internal channels are pre-machined on the bonding surfaces. Due to excellent chemical resistance, this product is compatible with a wide range of fluids.
Microfludic Chips
Film Chips
The Film Chip is extremely thin and made with precise channels micromachined in layers of bonded resin films.. It is flexible and can be curved. Through the mounting of fluid control devices such as miniature valves on the film, employment as a microTAS application is possible. Available film materials are chemically-inert Polyimide (PI), COC (Cyclic olefin copolymer) and Polyethylene naphthalate.
Bonded Plastic Chips
A range of chips made by bonding precision-moulded plastic plates is available, offering competitive prices in mass production quantities. The minimum channel size is 50μm square. Channel pattern can be freely designed. A choice of material COC (cyclic olefin copolymer), PMMA (acrylic) and PS (polystyrene) is available. These materials all exhibit excellent optical characteristics.
