متن کامل3D-Molding of Microfluidic Devices
Multilayer elastomeric device fabrication by replication molding requires a method for bonding together layers. In our development of solvent-resistant microfluidics, the goal with each promising new material or coating was to fabricate multilayer chips to evaluate crossed-channel valve performance and ultimately to implement functional elastomeric devices. However, determining a reliable adhes...
متن کاملLive cell refractometry using microfluidic devices.
Using Hilbert phase microscopy for extracting quantitative phase images, we measured the average refractive index associated with live cells in culture. To decouple the contributions to the phase signal from the cell refractive index and thickness, we confined the cells in microchannels. The results are confirmed by comparison with measurements of spherical cells in suspension.
