Polymer based micro-reactors

J Biotechnol. 2001 Dec;82(2):89-99. doi: 10.1016/s1389-0352(01)00032-0.

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the fabrication technologies necessary for the production of polymer-based micro-fluidic devices. These technologies include hot embossing as a micro-structuring method as well as so-called back-end processes to complete the micro-devices. Applications such as capillary electrophoresis, micro-mixers and nanowell plates are presented.
