Fluo-Oil Fluorinated Oil for Microfluidics

Thanks to their colorless, odorless, and biocompatible properties, fluorinated oils are widely used in microfluidics for droplet applications. Fluo-Oil 40, based on Fluorinert 40, and Fluo-Oil 7500, based on Novec 7500, are well suited for water-in-oil emulsions as a stable carrier phase. Fluo-Oil 135 and Fluo-Oil 200 are alternatives to Fluo-Oil 7500 and Fluo-Oil 40, respectively.
Available in bottles of 10 mL, 20 mL, 50 mL, and 100 mL.

General

We have chosen these oils for their high stability and wide chemical compatibility. Fluo-Oil 40 and Fluo-Oil 7500 are used in a wide range of applications: cell sorting, protein studies, research on living cells, or droplet encapsulation to name a few. Their permeability to gases makes experiments with living cells possible.

Fluo-Oil 40 contains FC-40TM from 3M company, and Fluo-Oil 7500 contains NovecTM 7500 from 3M company. Fluo-Oil 135 and 200 are alternatives with similar properties to respectively Fluo-Oil 7500 and Fluo-Oil 40.

Use Fluo-Oil 40 to dilute FluoSurf in FC-40, and Fluo-Oil 7500 to dilute FluoSurf in HFE 7500. FluoSurf is a high-performance surfactant specifically formulated to get highly stable and monodisperse emulsions. To find out more about oil/surfactant compatibility, the experts of Darwin Microfluidics invite you to consult their review "Choosing the best oil and surfactant for droplet generation".

Fluo-Oil being fluorinated oils, we recommend using a fluorophilic coating in your microfluidic channels. A standard hydrophobic coating can also work.

Specifications

Fluo-Oil 40 is slightly more viscous than Fluo-Oil 7500, so the droplet generation speed with Fluo-Oil 7500 will be a bit faster than with Fluo-Oil 40, and also closer to water. Besides this difference in viscosity, the two oil types have quite similar properties.

Since Darwin Microfluidics sells exclusively to companies and institutions and is based in France, the VAT treatment for your orders depends on the location of your company or institution:

Within the EU (excluding France): For customers in other EU countries, the reverse charge mechanism applies. This means that VAT is not charged by us at the point of sale. Instead, it is your responsibility to account for the VAT at the standard rate applicable in your country under the reverse charge procedure. This process helps simplify cross-border transactions within the EU.

In France: For customers located in France, standard French VAT rates apply to all purchases. As a France-based company, we are required to charge VAT on sales to other French companies and institutions, which you can then reclaim according to local VAT procedures if applicable.

Outside the EU: For customers outside the European Union, sales are not subject to VAT by us. However, you may be subject to import duties, taxes, and charges that are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility and vary by country. We advise checking with your local customs office for more information.

Please ensure your VAT identification number is provided during the ordering process for EU transactions to qualify for the reverse charge mechanism. If you have any questions regarding VAT charges or need further assistance with VAT-related issues, please contact our customer service team.

We are unable to provide specific estimates for customs fees, duties, or taxes associated with your order. These charges are determined by the customs authority in your country and can vary based on a variety of factors, including the type of items purchased, their value, and the country to which they are being shipped.

We recommend contacting your local customs office directly to get the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding potential customs charges for your order. They can provide you with detailed guidelines on the fees you might expect to pay based on the products you're importing from us.

Please remember, these charges are the responsibility of the recipient and are not included in the shipping costs paid to Darwin Microfluidics.
