(57) ABSTRACT A modular micro? uidic system includes a plurality of dis crete micro? uidic
modules each capable of performing at least one operation and at least one micro? uidic …

This paper reports the characterization of a microfluidic packaging technique involving the
use of press-fit interconnects to microfluidic channels molded in PDMS. This packaging …

Reliable microfluidic interconnectors are one of the basic building blocks of integrated fluidic
and chemical reaction systems-on-chip. Though many ideas have been proposed and …

To increase mass transfer in solid catalyzed gas–liquid hydrogenations, the reactions are
often operated at high pressures. Silicon/glass microreactors present a possibility to safely …

A threadless interface for a fluidic system includes a microfluidic device having an outer
surface and an internal near-surface channel having a first width and disposed at a first …

In this work, we present a simple method for establishing re-usable quick-release
compression-based fluidic connections for characterization of microfluidic systems. Our …

This paper presents a general microfabrication method for precision patterning of thin-film
poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS). The method enables PDMS microstructures with controlled …

This paper presents novel polydimethylsioxane (PDMS) based interconnects for microfluidic
systems with a low dead volume. Through-hole type and"/spl lceil/" type PDMS interconnects …

A crucial challenge in packaging of microsystems is microfluidic interconnections. These
have to seal the ports of the system, and have to provide the appropriate interface to other …

This paper presents a minimal dead-volume micro-connector fabricated using poly-
dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) casting techniques for microfluidic applications. A simple and …
