Hydrogel-based reconfigurable components for microfluidic devices.
In situ liquid-phase photopolymerization (LP(3)) has been applied to the field of microfluidics to create components within integrated systems. As an extension of LP(3) technology, we present reconfigurable components that utilize the swelling of hydrogels. These components can be conveniently used to enhance microfluidic functions and applications. In order to utilize the swelling characterist...

This Account summarizes techniques for fabrication and applications in biomedicine of microfluidic devices fabricated in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). The methods and applications described focus on the exploitation of the physical and chemical properties of PDMS in the fabrication or actuation of the devices. Fabrication of channels in PDMS is simple, and it can be used to incorporate other m...
متن کاملUse of vacuum bagging for fabricating thermoplastic microfluidic devices.
In this work we present a novel thermal bonding method for thermoplastic microfluidic devices. This simple method employs a modified vacuum bagging technique, a concept borrowed from the aerospace industry, to produce conventional thick substrate microfluidic devices, as well as multi-layer film devices. The bonds produced using this method are superior to those obtained using conventional ther...
متن کاملHydrogel Discs on Digital Microfluidic Devices for Proteomic Applications
We introduce the use of immobilized enzymes in hydrogels for proteomic sample processing in digital microfluidic systems. In this technique, pre-formed cylindrical agarose discs bearing immobilized enzymes were integrated into digital microfluidic devices bearing arrays of electrodes. In some experiments, fluorogenic enzyme substrates were delivered to gel discs which served as integrated micro...
متن کاملMicrofluidic direct writer with integrated declogging mechanism for fabricating cell-laden hydrogel constructs.
Cell distribution and nutrient supply in 3D cell-laden hydrogel scaffolds are critical and should mimic the in vivo cellular environment, but been difficult to control with conventional fabrication methods. Here, we present a microfluidic direct writer (MFDW) to construct 3D cell-laden hydrogel structures with openings permitting media exchange. The MFDW comprises a monolithic microfluidic head...
