Inkjet printing of UV-curable adhesive and dielectric inks for microfluidic devices.

چکیده
Bonding of polymer-based microfluidics to polymer substrates still poses a challenge for Lab-On-a-Chip applications. Especially, when sensing elements are incorporated, patterned deposition of adhesives with curing at ambient conditions is required. Here, we demonstrate a fabrication method for fully printed microfluidic systems with sensing elements using inkjet and stereolithographic 3D-printing.

متن کاملMicrofluidic Devices Made of Uv-curable Glue (noa81) for Fluorescence Detection Based Applications
The UV-curable adhesive NOA81 (Norland Optical Adhesive) is a promising liquid photopolymer for low-cost microfluidic chip production. Different fabrication methods for NOA81 are suggested [1,2]. However, optical characterization for fluorescent based detection systems is missing. We present a comparison of fluorescent emission spectra of various NOA types as well as the time evolution of the s...
