THERMOFORMED, INJECTION MOLDED, AND/OR OVERMOLDED MICROFLUIDIC STRUCTURES AND TECHNIQUES FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Laminated microfluidic structures and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. In some instances, a laminated microfluidic structure is provided which includes a distended region having a sipper port at the bottom and an internal channel that fluidically connects the sipper port to a location outside of the distended region. Thermoforming and/or injection molding techniques for manufacturing such laminated microfluidic structures are provided. In other instances, a laminated microfluidic structure may be co-molded with a polymeric material to produce an integrated laminated microfluidic structure and housing.
