Breakthrough Resin Drives Innovation

Zeon’s Diagnostic and Life Science grades of Cyclo Olefin Polymer (COP), offer glass-like clarity (>91% light transmittance) but with the precision molding capabilities of a plastic. ZEONOR® COP also has low autofluorescence, enabling improved fluorescence-based diagnostic performance and microfluidic device capability. 

COP Details

High Molding Precision

ZEONOR® COP is a high-flow resin that achieves greater microstructure resolution and repeatability in mold replication than other plastics. ZEONOR® COP can also maintain a high degree of flatness which is critical for imaging applications and device assembly.

Purity

ZEONOR® COP is an extremely pure resin and contains less-than-detectable residual metals and no additives or process aides. Microfluidic and Diagnostics consumables made using ZEONOR® COP have very low risk of contamination from off-gassing or extractables and leachables.

Low Protein Adsorption

ZEONOR® COP’s low surface energy and hydrophobic surface make it ideal for microfluidic applications with a high surface area-to-volume ratio. Compared to glass or other plastics, these surface properties result in lower non-specific binding of proteins, nucleic acids, and cells. Decreasing non-specific binding is critical for ultra-sensitive applications such as dPCR.

Chemical Compatibility

Unlike other plastics, ZEONOR® COP is chemically inert to most organic solvents, acids and based. ZEONOR® COP can be used for microfluidic applications that require organic solvents such as 2-phase lipid nanoparticle formation. Unlike Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Zeon's COP can also withstand extended exposure to organic solvents like Isopropanol (IPA), commonly used in diagnostics and microfluidics for sterilization and cleaning.

Low Autofluorescence

ZEONOR® COP offers ultra-low autofluorescence. This low background noise is especially relevant for dyes with UV excitation where polystyrene and other plastics have significantly higher autofluorescence. ZEONOR® COP's lower fluorescence background enables lower limits of detection for ultra-sensitive diagnostic assays.
