[DESIGN] - Microfluidic chip holder
A chip holder could be used in order to stabilize the chip as a structure together with tubing-chip connections. To use a chip holder we should seriously consider the unibody's available space. Some main points that could restrict our decision for using this component (mostly related to the available space) are:
-
Microfluidic chip heaters
-
Heaters wiring
-
Chip's stabilization structure (also needed for vibrations absorbance)
-
Temperature sensors (this component could prevent us from changing our chip's dimensions to provide more space for the chip holder)
