  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FABRICATING MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20220280936
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for fabricating a high-resolution, non-cytotoxic and transparent microfluidic device. A material can be selected based on having an optical property with a predetermined degree of transparency to provide viewability of a biological sample through the microfluidic device and a level of cytotoxicity within a predetermined threshold to provide viability of the biological sample within the microfluidic device. An additive manufacturing technique can be selected from a plurality of additive manufacturing techniques for fabricating the microfluidic device based on the selected material to provide a resolution of dimensions of one or more channels of the microfluidic device higher than a predetermined resolution threshold.
    Type: Application
