High pressure seamless microchannels
Outline
We succeeded in the development of the most reliable high pressure-resistance microchannel product by our original manufacturing method which forms microchannels in the single solid metal. The inside channels are completely coated by Au coating, leading to the improvement of corrosion-resistance. Thus, it can be used as an efficient thermal conductor with liquid/gas circulating inside. Also, it can be used a mixing device or analytical device in the biotechnology/medical industries by taking advantage of the high-pressure resistance.
