The Tesla Valve Microfluidic Chip is a precision-engineered, passive flow-control device designed for research, prototyping, and experimental microfluidic systems. Manufactured using high-resolution Cyto-Clear™ resin, this chip enables direction-dependent flow resistance without moving parts, making it ideal for robust, repeatable experiments.
This ready-to-use device features integrated Luer Lock connectors, allowing rapid connection to standard tubing and syringe pumps. The optically clear material enables direct visual inspection of flow behaviour, making it well-suited for academic research, R&D labs, and industrial prototyping.
