Comparison of glass etching to xurography prototyping of microfluidic channels for DNA melting analysis

Abstract: Two microchannel manufacturing methods—xurography of double-sided tape and glass etching (lithography and wet etching)—were compared using DNA melting analysis. A heterozygous mutation (3 base-pair deletion) was distinguished from wild type (normal) DNA in 10 nL (xurography and glass etching) and 1 nL (xurography) volumes. The results of the 10 nL and 1 nL melting curves were compared to results using commercial high-resolution instrumentation with 10 µL volumes. These 1000-fold and 10 000-fold volume reductio… Show more

“…In the last stage the tape-bonded acrylic mixer was placed in a 65 o C oven for 45 minutes to ensure good bonding between the tape and the acrylic plates. Detailed information about this micro fabrication method can be found in Greer et al's paper [5].…”

“…At present adhesive bonding and hot embossing are the popular packaging techniques for plastic micro mixers. Innovative designs and methods (e.g., [5][6][7][8][9]) have been developed to improve bonding strengths and conditions, prevent adhesives and sealing materials smeared into the mixing chamber or flow channels, facilitate the packaging process, and reduce deformation during packaging. Plasma bonding is another technique that has been applied to the packaging of plastic microchips and microfluidics fabricated from plastics as well as glass and metals.…”

Using these techniques, it has been possible to prototype microfluidic channels, [11][12][13] pattern thin films and surfaces, 8,14 and produce micro and nanostructured metallic surfaces [15][16][17] that have been applied mostly to Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) applications.…”

“…The protocol used to heat the chip was modeled after the process used by Greer et al [37] but modified to follow the findings of a peer in Cal Poly Biofluidics group. The settings for this protocol involved placing the clamped chip in a furnace for 20 -30 minutes at 75 degrees Celsius.…”
