Abstract

Limitations and New Methods in the Characterization of Microfluidic Devices For Manufacturing QC

Maximilian Pitzek, Engineering, STRATEC Consumables GmbH

The range of applications for microfluidic devices is constantly expanding and so are the challenges for manufacturing. There is always excitement for the development of new manufacturing methods, but the importance of new analytical methods is often underestimated by contract manufacturers. Here we present our latest advances in the analytics and QC of injection molded microfluidic devices, that opened up the door to new types of devices, or made it possible to mass manufacture high complexity consumables.
