Assembly
With
the Center for Bonding Technology and Assembly, commissioned in
the year 2000, Boehringer Ingelheim microParts uses most modern
production machines for mass production of microstructures and
complete microsystems.
High-grade microsystems for the most
varied interfaces
Different technologies - e.g. laminating, adhesive bonding,
ultrasonic and laser welding, thermal bonding - allow precise,
product-specific material bonding. Boehringer Ingelheim
microParts has the know-how to develop microsystems with
individually configurable interfaces which can be integrated
without any problem into existing macroscopic systems. With many
years of experience and creative and innovative spirit,
application-optimized and cost-efficient problem solutions for
customers are developed.
Surface modification
Surface treatment of
the microstructured plastic components guarantees important product properties
for Lab-on-a-Chip systems, e.g. the controlled wetting ability with liquids.
Surface modification comprises the three basic treatment stages: cleaning,
surface activation and surface coating. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces,
meaning water-repellent or easily wettable surfaces, can be set for defined
regions of the component, depending on the requirements of the respective
Lab-on-a-Chip system. These properties are extremely important for exact
handling of bio-molecules and for fluidic control. Boehringer Ingelheim
microParts has a wide spectrum of technologies for long-term stable surface
treatment at its disposal, like plasma polymerization and wet chemical processes.
