Fabrication of a Three-Layer PDMS Pneumatic Microfluidic Chip for Micro Liquid Sample Operation
The emphasis of this paper lies in the fabrication of a three-layer polydimethylsiloxane chip for micro liquid sample operation. In this paper, the microchannels with a rectangular control layer cross section are fabricated based on a dry-film negative photoresist mold, while the microchannels with a rounded liquid layer cross section are fabricated by a positive photoresist reflow mold. The relationships between temperature and the time of reflow and the arc level of the liquid layer mold are discussed.
