Title:
MICROFLUIDIC STRUCTURES AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATING A FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT INTO A MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005069797
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Injection molding is used to form microfluidic devices with integrated functional components. One or more functional components are placed in a mold cavity, which is then closed. Molten thermoplastic resin is injected into the mold and then cooled, thereby forming a solid substrate including the functional component(s). The solid substrate including the functional component(s) is then bonded to a second substrate, which may include microchannels or other features.
