Overview
ABSTRACT
Microfluidics is now a well-implanted field in academic research and its applicative potential is huge. To fabricate a lab-on-a-chip, the choice of the material is essential. Therefore, the properties and limitations of the material have to meet the specific requirements of the aimed application. After a presentation of microfluidics, the properties, microfabrication methods and bonding technics are discussed for polymers and glass. Finally, this article focuses on the type of applications requesting “all glass” chips and especially those requesting the use of a novel low temperature bonding technic.
