Sherkin Plasma's FluidicsLab combines plasma surface activation, precision alignment and bonding of microfluidic devices into one automated process. The problem was that all of it happens inside a sealed vacuum chamber, at microscopic scale, where buyers never get to see it. A photo of the machine shows a white cabinet, not why the bonds are better. Sherkin needed a film that could make that process visible to researchers, lab managers and production engineers, and get across the platform's key messages: high device yields, a repeatable recipe-driven process, and no handling between steps.
We worked with Sherkin Plasma's team on the script, then built a photorealistic 3D model of FluidicsLab and placed it in a clean, modern lab. The two-minute animation takes viewers inside the chamber to watch plasma activation, alignment and bonding step by step, then compares a manually bonded chip, with its trapped bubbles and misalignment, against a clean Sherkin bond. It closes on the range of materials and device types the platform supports and its Industry 4.0 software and remote monitoring. Stills from the animation now double as product imagery on Sherkin Plasma's website.
