In this paper we present a novel fabrication technique that utilizes polycaprolactone (PCL) as bonding media due to its low melting temperature property. PCL is biodegradable polyester with a melting point of 60°C, and a glass transition temperature of -60°C [1-10]. It is employed as a rapid bonding technique in...
The concept of reducing laboratory operations in scale such that they fit on a microfluidic chip has been met with great enthusiasm. Lab-on-a-chip devices promise to be cost effective to operate due to reduced reagent consumption, have the potential to offer shorter analysis times due to their short path lengths,...
