Supplementary Information: FLASH: A Rapid Method for Prototyping Paper-Based Microfluidic Devices

Low-cost rapid prototyping of flexible microfluidic devices using a desktop digital craft cutter.

Low-cost and straight forward rapid prototyping of flexible microfluidic devices using a desktop digital craft cutter is presented. This rapid prototyping method can consistently achieve microchannels as thin as 200 microm in width and can be used to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic devices using only double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape and laser printer transparenc...

Rapid Fabrication Method for Plastic Microfluidic Devices with Embedded 2d and 3d Microelectrodes and Its Application to Electroporation and Cell Lysis on Chip

Methods of fabricating microfluidic devices that are scalable, simple, and inexpensive are necessary to ease the transition of microfluidics from an academic to an industrial discipline. Here we present a method for rapid prototyping of microfluidic devices with embedded electrodes in plastic based on electroplating and hot embossing techniques. We then discuss its applicability to electroporat...

Technology, Informatics and Engineering DEVELOPMENT OF A MICROFLUIDIC GAS GENERATOR FROM AN EFFICIENT FILM-BASED MICROFABRICATION METHOD

Recently, tape&film based microfabrication method has been studied for rapid prototyping of microfluidic devices due to its low cost and ease of fabrication [1]. But most of the reported film-based microfluidic devices are simple single-layer patterned 2D designs, whose potential applications are limited. In this paper, we present the design, fabrication and testing results of a 3D structured m...

Fabrication of Microfluidic Valves Using a Hydrogel Molding Method

In this paper, a method for fabricating a microfluidic valve made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using a rapid prototyping method for microchannels through hydrogel cast molding is discussed. Currently, the valves in microchannels play an important role in various microfluidic devices. The technology to prototype microfluidic valves rapidly is actively being developed. For the rapid prototyping...
