Application-Specific Plastic Wafers

Optotrack, Inc. manufactures value-added plastic wafers with precision-embossed, application-specific features for the markets of healthcare, optoelectronics, and homeland security. With proprietary replication and bonding techniques, these wafers consist of multilayer structures and can be made for microfluidic chips, micro-optical devices, and disposable biochemical sensors. As compared with silicon-, ceramics-, and glass-based processes, Optotrack’s technology of plastic wafers offers competitive advantages such as design flexibility, rapid prototyping, and customized surface treatment protocol to better cope with market dynamics and technology platform transforming. Most importantly, it helps our customers to reduce cost, increase productivity, and improve performance.

Automated Hybrid Microfluidic Analyzers

The microfluidic analyzers currently being developed will process and identify fluid-based cells, molecules, or particles that are transported from an inlet area to a detection area and then to a disposal area. They can manipulate µL and sub-µL volumes of samples and reagents and perform multiple biological and chemical reactions and analyses for automatic operation, fast validation, and real-time monitoring, which are otherwise usually done with larger volumes in well-equipped laboratories. The analyzers can be custom-designed and custom–assembled to meet specific applications and yield significant benefits across a variety of fields including forensic analysis, medical diagnostics, compound screening, and clinical therapy.

Green Processes and Products

Optotrack, Inc. has been working with its strategic partners to develop processes and products that are better for the environments to save energy, conserve resource, reduce waste, and improve performance. The company applies chemistry, nanotechnology, materials science, and smart engineering to its business practices. The first environmentally friendly product will be introduced to market in late 2009.
