Figure 1. Fabrication of microfluidics flow cells using polydimethylsiloxane replica molding.

Figure 1

A. Fabrication starts with the design of the geometry and fluid dynamics that are of interest. The photolithography steps make use of the negative photoresist, e.g. SU-8. Exposure of this resist to UV radiation in the presence of the pattern mask results in the master mold. Then polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used to cast microfluidic devices containing pre-designed structures reflected by the mold. In the final step, the PDMS mold is peeled from the master template and assembled into a flow device. B. Design and applications of microfluidics. Online figure is available in color.
