Abstract

A Platform For Commercialization of 3D Printed Microfluidics Embedded into Standard Well Plates

Jeff Schultz, Co-Founder, Phase, Inc.

Phase is developing an additive manufacturing process, termed 3D PDMS, to 3D print microfluidic devices using conventional thermally curable PDMS. To enable academic and industrial adoption of these advanced microfluidic devices, Phase is developing their VivorrayTM plate systems, which are sterilizable 96- and 384-well plates made from a USP Class VI certified material, that integrates 3D PDMS MF devices into well plates with industry standard geometries for automated high-throughput workflows. The resulting system will be a single fully automated microfluidic manufacturing platform with the design freedom of 3D printing capable of manufacturing complex PDMS microfluidic devices.
