In this paper, we present a technology for the batch-fabrication of fluidic devices which combines polymer and metal layers. The structures are fabricated by means of two-layer lithography and SU-8-based wafer bonding technique. The combination of SU-8 and metal layers allows the fabrication of "2(1/2)"-dimensional fluidic structures. We realized different types of micromixers for the investigation of chemical reactions by time resolved FTIR-spectroscopy, a flow-through-cell for IR-detection in capillary electrophoresis (CE) and a CE device with integrated capillary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
