Production of a microfluidic mixer in PDMS

Production of a microfluidic mixer in PDMS

This multi-channel sorting mixer was produced from a negative mold of photoresist on silicon. The mold creates an embedded design in PDMS. Subsequent bonding of the PDMS to a glass slide makes a liquid-tight seal. These fluidic devices are being used to confine bio-molecules to an observable volume by confocal microscopy so that we may watch the bio-molecules as they perform their function in real time.
