Create polymer membranes with tailored pore shapes, sizes and distributions for cell capture, separation and microfluidic filtration research. Photosynthetic gives R&D teams a way to explore how a deliberately designed microstructure fits their experimental workflow.
Design membrane geometries around your target cells, particles and experimental setup. Custom pore patterns provide a starting point for investigating capture and separation behaviour. Define what you want to retain or pass through, then evaluate the prototype under the conditions relevant to your research.
Prototype structured membranes for filtration within microfluidic research systems. Consider the active area, interface with the device and the path of the fluid alongside the pore pattern. Share the intended assembly so that the membrane geometry can be discussed as part of the complete setup.
Explore pore size, shape and spatial distribution as design variables. Compare regular patterns with application-specific layouts and inspect how the fabricated structures match your intended geometry. This enables a systematic approach to choosing the next design to evaluate.
ORIGIN 2.5 uses single-photon volumetric microlithography to create 2.5D polymer microstructures. Platform specifications include features below 5 µm, heights up to 1000 µm and aspect ratios up to 20:1. The practical design window depends on the geometry and material; discuss your target dimensions with our team.
Discuss the polymer material, sample medium, handling and integration requirements before fabrication. Flow behaviour, selectivity and compatibility should be evaluated in the intended setup. A clearly defined experiment helps distinguish the geometry you need from the performance you still need to measure.
Share the target cells or particles, pore dimensions, membrane footprint and intended device interface. Add the operating medium, relevant test conditions and the question you want the prototype to answer. Our team can then discuss the design and an appropriate next step.
