Abstract
Authors
describe Teflon-based microfluidic chips fabricated by laminating multiple
layers of laser-cut Teflon film. The
chips enable simple multilayer fabrication, have uniform rectangular cross-section
and are sufficiently thin to (1) reduce cost, (2) enable rapid temperature
control, and (3) provide optical transparency.
In addition, they are solvent-resistant. The chips can be fabricated without a
cleanroom from start to finish in less than 2 hours. They demonstrate the potential of this
approach by measuring the displacement of an oil solution by carbon dioxide in
a nine-layer thin-film Teflon chip modelling porous media.
