High‐Throughput Contact Flow Lithography
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-throughput fabrication of graphically encoded hydrogel microparticles is achieved by combining flow contact lithography in a multichannel microfluidic device and a high capacity 25 mm LED UV source. Production rates of chemically homogeneous particles are improved by two orders of magnitude. Additionally, the custom-built contact lithography instrument provides an affordable solution for patterning complex microstructures on surfaces.

We report a high throughput microfluidic fluorescence based flow cytometer with parallel sheath flow focusing in 32 channels using only 2 inlets. A detection throughput of 7000 beads/sec in each channel and 224,000 beads/sec for 32 channels has been accomplished. This fluorescence flow cytometer is realized by utilizing 3D soft lithography microfabrication technique to achieve multilayer PDMS s...
متن کاملCapillary Force Lithography: Fabrication of Functional Polymer Templates as Versatile Tools for Nanolithography
The development of low-cost, high-throughput lithographic techniques for the fabrication of sub-100 nm patterns has taken a dominant position in nanofabrication during the last decade. The unrelenting efforts that are undertaken in this field are the result of the corresponding high cost and low accessibility of state-of-the-art lithographic techniques—for example, deep-UV and extreme-UV photol...
متن کاملPolymer pen lithography.
We report a low-cost, high-throughput scanning probe lithography method that uses a soft elastomeric tip array, rather than tips mounted on individual cantilevers, to deliver inks to a surface in a "direct write" manner. Polymer pen lithography merges the feature size control of dip-pen nanolithography with the large-area capability of contact printing. Because ink delivery is time and force de...
متن کاملStop-flow lithography in a microfluidic device.
Polymeric particles in custom designed geometries and with tunable chemical anisotropy are expected to enable a variety of new technologies in diverse areas such as photonics, diagnostics and functional materials. We present a simple, high throughput and high resolution microfluidic method to synthesize such polymeric particles. Building off earlier work that we have done on continuous flow lit...
