Usage summary
In addition to the properties of “chemical resistance”, “liquid repellency”, and “low adhesion with biological materials” that are necessary for “biochips”, and since CYTOP® has characteristics of “low autofluorescence”, and “nearly the same refractive index as water (1.34)”, it is easy to view with a microscope. Furthermore, by making use of the property of “wettability control” which employs the electrowetting phenomenon with the on/off of voltage, it is possible to move, separate and mix microscopic droplets.
