Sublym

The Sublym100 is a great alternative to soft-lithography microfabrication, for easy and quick production of your microfluidic devices.

The SuBlym100 is a hot embossing machine, using heat and pressure to mold a variety of materials in a matter of minutes. More specifically, it has been optimized for Flexdym polymer molding in only 2 minutes, but can also be used to mold various other thermoplastics, including PMMA.

Do you require an alternative to soft-lithography microfabrication? Because the Sublym™ hot embossing machine is a great option for easy and quick production of microfluidic chips.

The Sublym™ is a hot embossing machine, using heat and pressure to mold a variety of materials in a matter of minutes, including Flexdym™, COC, PMMA and PS. Consequently, it serves as a great alternative to soft-lithography casting. More specifically, the Sublym100 has been optimized for Flexdym™ polymer molding in only 2 minutes, but it can also be used to mold various other thermoplastics, including PMMA.

Check out below additional advantages of the Sublym™:
  • Easy-to-use, with no extensive training is needed to operate it. The Sublym™ is the perfect equipment for accelerating projects.
  • An ultra-compact design, that’s not much bigger than a laptop. The Sublym™ is dramatically smaller than standard commercial hot embossing machines, weighing up to 500 kg.
  • A user-friendly system, that is only powered by electricity. You can plug-and-play in the smallest of spaces.
  • Dramatically cheaper than other microfabrication equipment. The Sublym™ makes microfluidics more accessible to everyone.
4 Easy steps to create Flexdym chips using the Sublym™:
  1. Cut a Flexdym™ sheet to the size of your device.
  2. Next, mold the sheet by placing the sheet, between your mold and the counter mold (included in the Sublym kit), inside the machine.
  3. Then, unmold the sheet and create inlet/outlet ports. Check out our metal punch pliers for this step.
  4. Finally, laminate sheet onto substrate. Flexdym™ can bond to various materials including, itself, glass, PDMS, PS, PC, COC, COP and PMMA.

A note to our Flex users: the Sublym also serves a great bonding aid for standardized Flexdym™ chip bonding.

This microfabrication countertop companion allows quick prototyping and production of microfluidic chips at a push of a button! What else could you need?
