PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) board is a versatile, optically transparent thermoplastic substrate widely used in the fabrication of microfluidic chips and lab-on-a-chip devices. Valued for its high optical clarity, chemical stability, and machinability, PMMA enables rapid prototyping of microchannels via hot embossing, laser cutting, and CNC milling — making it the preferred choice for academic research groups and industrial microfluidics labs.

Key Features
- Exceptional optical clarity: Over 92% light transmittance enables fluorescence microscopy, brightfield imaging, and colorimetric detection directly through the chip substrate
- Machinability: Compatible with CO₂ laser cutting, CNC milling, hot embossing, and solvent bonding — supports full rapid prototyping workflows
- Broad thickness range: From 0.2 mm ultra-thin to 20 mm structural — accommodates master molds, channel layers, and cover plates in a single material system
- Chemical stability: Inert to common aqueous buffers, alcohols, and mild solvents; suitable for biological and biochemical assays
- Solvent bonding: Bonds readily with dichloromethane (DCM) or chloroform for chip assembly without specialized equipment
- UV transparency: Transmits down to ~300 nm, enabling UV detection and photopolymerization applications
- Consistent flatness: Polished both sides for uniform bonding contact and leak-free chip sealing
Applications
- Microfluidic chip substrates and cover plates
- Hot embossing master mold fabrication
- Droplet generation and digital microfluidics
- Cell culture chambers and organ-on-a-chip devices
- Point-of-care diagnostic chip prototyping
- Fluorescence and optical detection platforms
- Electrophoresis and DNA separation chips
- Lab-on-a-chip rapid prototyping
