Spacer Tapes NEW
Precision-engineered adhesive layers that define capillary channels for consistent diagnostic and biosensor performance.
Reliable spacing for accurate sample flow
In diagnostic and biosensor devices, maintaining precise capillary dimensions directly impacts accuracy and reproducibility. ARcare® Spacer Tapes are engineered to create controlled gaps and channels that guide fluid movement and maintain consistent sample volume.
Manufactured with tight tolerance control and validated through in-line measurement systems, these double-coated spacer tapes ensure uniform thickness and reliable bonding to a wide range of substrates. Whether used in glucose monitoring, coagulation testing, or other microfluidic assays, ARcare® Spacer Tapes enable the stable, repeatable flow required for device accuracy.
Product Overview
ARcare® Spacer Tapes serve as functional layers in microfluidic and diagnostic assemblies, separating substrates to form precise capillary channels that manage fluid transport and reaction timing. Each tape is constructed using high-clarity, inert films coated with medical-grade pressure-sensitive or heat-activated adhesives.
Our manufacturing process incorporates precision coating and thickness control, verified by in-line gauge measurement, to achieve uniformity across every roll. These tapes bond securely to glass, plastics, and coated films, while their non-reactive adhesives ensure compatibility with biological fluids, reagents, and assay chemistries.
Available in multiple adhesive types and film thicknesses, ARcare® Spacer Tapes can be tailored to your device architecture and target capillary dimensions.
