Microfluidics is an emerging field that has given rise to a large number of scientific and
technological developments over the last few years. This review reports on the use of …

The area of micro total analysis systems (μTAS), also called “lab on a chip” or miniaturized
analysis systems, is growing rapidly. This paper represents an update of the earlier reviews …

The difficulty in translating conventional microfluidics from laboratory prototypes to
commercial products has shifted research efforts towards thermoplastic materials for their …

Plastic materials do not generally form irreversible bonds with poly (dimethylsiloxane)(
PDMS) regardless of oxygen plasma treatment and a subsequent thermal process. In this …

The use of UV/ozone surface treatments for achieving low temperature bonds between
PMMA and COC microfluidic substrates is evaluated. Low temperature bond strengths …

Poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) has become one of the most widely used materials for
microchip capillary electrophoresis and microfluidics. The popularity of this material is the …

An injection molding process for the fabrication of disposable plastic microfluidic chips with a
cycle time of 2 min has been designed, developed, and implemented. Of the sixteen …

Physiologically relevant and broadly applicable liver cell culture platforms are of great
importance in both drug development and disease modeling. Organ-on-a-chip systems offer …
