A flow-through holed PDMS membrane as a reusable microarray spotter for biomedical assays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the exploitation of a holed-designed poly(dimethyl)siloxane (PDMS) membrane as an innovative microarray spotter. The membrane is fabricated by a simple technological approach and can be reused several times. A good level of reproducibility is found upon spotting fluorescent proteins at different concentrations over large areas.

This paper presents the fabrication process of a single-chamber planar valveless micropump driven by an external electromagnetic actuator. This micropump features a pair of micro diffuser and nozzle elements used to rectify the fluid flow, and an elastic magnetic membrane used to regulate the pressure in the enclosed fluid chamber. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used as the main construction ma...
متن کاملNovel PDMS cylindrical channels that generate coaxial flow, and application to fabrication of microfibers and particles.
In this paper, we introduce a novel cylindrical channel that generates coaxial flow without using glass microcapillary or complicated silicon processing, and we demonstrate the fabrication of microparticles and microfibers using this channel. The simple fabrication process for cylindrical channels employs the deflection of free-standing thin PDMS membranes. Using this channel, alginate micropar...
متن کاملA versatile microreactor platform featuring a chemical-resistant microvalve array for addressable multiplex syntheses and assays
A versatile microreactor platform featuring a novel chemical-resistant microvalve array has been developed using combined silicon/polymer micromachining and a special polymer membrane transfer process. The basic valve unit in the array has a typical ‘transistor’ structure and a PDMS/parylene double-layer valve membrane. A robust multiplexing algorithm is also proposed for individual addressing ...
