FlexdymTM is a block co-polymer belonging to the SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) family of thermoplastic elastomers which is specifically tailored for the fabrication of microfluidic devices and scaffolds for biomedical applications. FlexdymTM is a great alternative to PDMS for many reasons: it is certified biocompatible (ISO 10993 and USP Class VI), it has higher hydrophilic stability and it is resistant to the adsorption of small particles such as drugs or growth factors. Similar to PDMS, FlexdymTM is optically transparent and behaves as a soft elastomer (E = 1.15 MPa, Shore hardness = 35A).
