Patent number: 6440645Abstract: A process for the production of a device having a surface microstructure of wells or channels. In the process one or more steps of screen-printing the microstructure as a curable material onto a plastic substrate, and curing the material. Such a device is also obtained by applying onto a substrate a material that is polymerizable or depolymerizable by irradiation, applying a negative or positive resist photoresist respectively, irradiating the structure and removing the unpolymerized or depolymerized material.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1999Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: Cambridge Sensors LimitedInventors: Bernadette Yon-Hin, James McCann, Saji Eapen, Christopher Robin Lowe
