  • METHODS FOR FABRICATION OF MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEMS ON PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS
    Publication number: 20100084371
    Abstract: Methods for fabrication of microfluidic systems on printed circuit boards (PCB) are described. The PCB contains layers of insulating material and a layer or layers of metal buried within layers of insulating material. The metal layers are etched away, leaving fully enclosed microfluidic channels buried within the layers of insulating material.
