High Throughput Roll-to-Roll Production of Microfluidic Chips

A high throughput manufacturing process of microfluidic chips based on Roll-to-Roll imprinting is presented. With this procedure, microfluidic patterns can be produced on large area polymer substrates. The subsequent steps of inlet drilling, bonding and electrode printing are set-up on large area pr...
