چکیده
This paper presents a transparent microfluidic chip designed for continuous-flow photochemistry applications with integrated electrical sensing. The transparent chip design allows for microscale photochemistry, and permits direct, real-time visual/electrical observation. The microchip uses optically transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes for reagent and phase tracking. High-speed videography was performed to validate the electrical measurement data.

Fabrication and testing of planar chalcogenide waveguide integrated microfluidic sensor.
We have fabricated and tested, to the best of our knowledge, the first microfluidic device monolithically integrated with planar chalcogenide glass waveguides on a silicon substrate. High-quality Ge(23)Sb(7)S(70) glass films have been deposited onto oxide coated silicon wafers using thermal evaporation, and high-index-contrast channel waveguides have been defined using SF(6) plasma etching. Mic...
متن کاملA microfluidic device for impedance spectroscopy analysis of biological samples
The paper presents an original fabrication process of a microfluidic device for identification and characterization of cells in suspensions using mpedance spectroscopy. The device consists of two glass wafers: a bottom wafer comprising a microfluidic channel with two electrodes added or impedance measurement, and a top glass wafer in which inlets and outlets are realized. The fact that the devi...
متن کاملSurface acoustic wave-induced precise particle manipulation in a trapezoidal glass microfluidic channel
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) excitation of an acoustic field in a trapezoidal glass microfluidic channel for particle manipulation in continuous flow has been demonstrated. A unidirectional interdigital transducer (IDT) on a Y-cut Z-propagation lithium niobate (LiNbO3) substrate was used to excite a surface acoustic wave at approximately 35 MHz. An SU8 layer was used for adhesive bonding of the ...

Microfluidic device fabrication: The devices are made in PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), using the standard soft lithography technique. In brief, we create SU8 (SU8 2015, Microchem) masters on a silicon wafer, then proceed to PDMS (RTV615, Momentive Performance Materials) molding and thermal curing at 80 °C overnight. We treat the PDMS surfaces and the glass slide that closes the channel with oxyg...
متن کاملSU-8 On Pmma - A New Technology For Microfluidics
Conventional SU-8 lithography process for fabricating microfluidic devices often uses silicon or glass as substrate materials. Since silicon and glass are very hard and brittle, drilling fluid access holes or dicing the substrates into individual devices are difficult. We investigated the use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as a new substrate material. PMMA, an amorphous thermoplastic, was cho...
