Abstract

Integration of Mixed Materials Components for Microfluidic Design and Manufacturing

Stefano Begolo, Director of Engineering, ALine, Inc.

In order to achieve the desired functionalities, microfluidic products typically require integration of multiple components produced with different materials. Selecting the right integration strategies and number of components is critical to enable scale up manufacturing at target cost. In this presentation we will review examples of components and integration strategies from commercial products, and showcase hybrid glass/plastic devices developed in collaboration by ALine and IMT.
