Micromolding of solvent resistant microfluidic devices.
We demonstrate a rapid fabrication procedure for solvent-resistant microfluidic devices based on the perfluoropolyether (PFPE) SIFEL. We carefully modified the poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micromolding procedure, such that it can still be executed using the standard facilities for PDMS devices. Most importantly, devices with a thin SIFEL layer for the patterned channels and a PDMS support layer...
متن کاملThe improved resistance of PDMS to pressure-induced deformation and chemical solvent swelling for microfluidic devices
We present a fabrication technique that increases the resistance of PDMS to deformation under pressure driven flow and chemical solvents swelling without the use of any foreign materials. This is achieved by enhancing the material properties of PDMS by coupling two previously isolated processes. First, the weight ratio of the prepolymer to the curing agent was increased from 10:1 to 5:1, with t...
متن کاملTime-resolved fluorescence imaging of solvent interactions in microfluidic devices.
We present the application of wide-field time-resolved fluorescence imaging methods for the study of solvent interactions and mixing in microfluidic devices. Time-resolved imaging of fluorescence polarization anisotropy allows us to image the local viscosity of fluorescence in three dimensions in order to directly monitor solvent mixing within a microfluidic channel. This provides a viscosity i...
متن کاملSolvent compatibility of poly(dimethylsiloxane)-based microfluidic devices.
This paper describes the compatibility of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with organic solvents; this compatibility is important in considering the potential of PDMS-based microfluidic devices in a number of applications, including that of microreactors for organic reactions. We considered three aspects of compatibility: the swelling of PDMS in a solvent, the partitioning of solutes between a sol...
متن کاملDrop formation in non-planar microfluidic devices.
Microfluidic devices can be used to produce single or multiple emulsions with remarkably precise control of both the contents and size of the drops. Since each level of a multiple emulsion is formed by a distinct fluid stream, very efficient encapsulation of materials can be achieved. To obtain high throughput, these devices can be fabricated lithographically, allowing many devices to operate i...
