Microfluidic Devices Made of Uv-curable Glue (noa81) for Fluorescence Detection Based Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The UV-curable adhesive NOA81 (Norland Optical Adhesive) is a promising liquid photopolymer for low-cost microfluidic chip production. Different fabrication methods for NOA81 are suggested [1,2]. However, optical characterization for fluorescent based detection systems is missing. We present a comparison of fluorescent emission spectra of various NOA types as well as the time evolution of the spectra of the most promising one NOA81. We report on a simple rapid prototyping technique to produce chips for fluorescent based capillary electrophoresis (CE). As an application, we show the CE-injection of a fluorescent dye, and its detection by fluorescence microscopy.

Microfluidic devices are widely used for biomedical applications based on microscopy or other optical detection methods. However, the materials commonly used for microfabrication typically have a high refractive index relative to water, which can create artifacts at device edges and limit applicability to applications requiring high-precision imaging or morphological feature detection. Here we ...
