New Portable Mold for Fabrication of Various Microfluidic Systems

This work describes a new appliance for design and fabrication of various ۳D microchannels by a quick process known as micro-wire molding. The method provides several possibilities including simultaneous curing and molding without any displacement or a curing oven. Both metallic and Nylon micro-wires can be used in this method. The method is designed so that the molding container needs minimal polydimethylsiloxane providing possibility to produce channels with different cross-sections, shapes and geometries.
