If you would like to order a pre-designed chip, please complete the customer order form and indicate the specific chip.

To create your own custom designed device and order it from the Stanford Microfluidics Foundry, please follow the steps below:

Design Your Device – Using Autocad, design your microfluidic device according to the Basic Design Rules and Mask Design Rules for Stanford Microfluidics Foundry. This includes deciding which type of valves you want to include on your device (push-up or push-down), channel geometry, etc. Consult with the foundry on any questions or concerns you may have about your design (melin@stanford.edu).

Review Mask – Double-check that your design follows the design rules outlined on our website. Send in your Autocad file to our Foundry for a final design rule check.

Produce Mask – We will send your mask design to a company to produce the transparency masks. It is also possible for you to send your pre-made masks to us directly if you like (either transparency or glass mask) as long as they are compatible for 3” or 4” wafer photolithography.
