چکیده
This communication describes a simple and cost-effective method for fabricating glass microchannels by wet chemical etching using masks made by xurography in vinyl adhesive films. Analytical performance of microfluidic devices fabricated using the new approach was evaluated by microchip electrophoresis coupled to capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection.

Surface micromachined glass and polysilicon microchannels using MUMPs for BioMEMS applications
MUMPs (Multi-User MEMS Process) based microchannels made of either glass or polysilicon have been successfully designed, fabricated and tested. The fabrication process used timed wet-chemical etching to selectively etch sacrificial materials with the assistance of etch holes. The prototype glass and polysilicon microchannels have cross-section areas of 70 m×4 m and 70 m×2 m, respectively, and b...
متن کاملMicrochannel Fabrication and Bio-Related Applications
This report discusses the method for the fabrication of microchannels. Microchannel production is a two step process. First, soft photolithography methods are implemented to fabricate a reusable mold. The mold is then used to create the microchannel, which consists of polydimethylsiloxane, or PDMS, and glass. Bio-related applications are also discussed.

متن کاملRapid prototyping of microfluidic systems using a PDMS/polymer tape composite.
Rapid prototyping of microfluidic systems using a combination of double-sided tape and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) is introduced. PDMS is typically difficult to bond using adhesive tapes due to its hydrophobic nature and low surface energy. For this reason, PDMS is not compatible with the xurography method, which uses a knife plotter and various adhesive coated polymer tapes. To solve these pro...
