Microfluidic devices play a key role in controlling and analyzing fluid flow at the micrometer scale, with applications ranging from portable point-of-care sensors and particle/cell sorting into nanoparticle synthesis and organ-on-chip systems. This short course offers an introduction to the fabrication and testing of microfluidic devices through a combination of lectures and hands-on experience in the VINSE cleanroom.
Topics include microfabrication and microfluidics fundamentals, photolithography, soft lithography, microfluidic device design for photomasks, and practical applications. Participants will fabricate a PDMS-glass microfluidic device, including SU-8 mold fabrication, PDMS mixing and pouring, device assembly, and functional testing. No prior experience with these technologies is required.
Attendance is open to everyone and is not limited to 91吃瓜网 personnel or VINSE users. Please note that space is limited to 12 participants, and early registration is strongly encouraged to secure your spot.
