The development of disposable microfluidic devices for rapid point-of-care applications has become central to progress in medical diagnostics and a variety of other fields. The use of these systems is attractive because they promote reduced sample consumption and analysis time without being restricted to standard laboratory settings. To this end, lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems have mostly been shown to function in conceptual ways, yet their commercialization and widespread in clinical use has been hindered by a number of challenges, which include materials and low-cost fabrication technologies as primary concerns. We will present specific examples of designs and fabrication processes using thermoplastics polymers able to produce microfluidic systems for rapid diagnostics applications. Examples of all-thermoplastic integrated sample-to-answer centrifugal microfluidic systems for nucleic acid analysis performing less than one hour cellular lysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, amplicon digestion, and microarray hybridization on a plastic support will be presented. In addition, this talk will also demonstrate the possibility to use new materials and fabrication processes to bridge the gap between the laboratory proof-of-concept Lab-On-Chip demonstrations and the industrial like fabrication production based on the use of low-cost thermoplastic elastomers.
