The ability to engineer fully three-dimensional internal geometries in a precisely crafted glass substrate enables:​ • Controlled droplet formation with high reproducibility​ • Precise fluid routing without assembly misalignment​ • Chemical and thermal robustness compatible with analytical environments​ • Stable interfacing with high-performance detection systems​ ​ For IMS, integration quality directly impacts resolution, stability, and throughput. By removing geometric and material constraints, true 3D glass fabrication expands what can be realistically coupled upstream of the spectrometer.​ In other words, the advancement in IMS performance is inseparable from the microfabrication technology that made the chip possible.​ ​ 👇 Dive into the full technical details here:​ https://lnkd.in/eAVSbC9n​ ​ #Microfluidics #3DPrinting #PrecisionEngineering #FEMTOPRINT #MedTech #Innovation​
