The PDMS coring device is being used by the 3.155J/6.152J class to prepare their microfluidic device inlets. Above, students are creating a series of 0.7mm fine holes, through which they can pump liquid into their device.
Below, an undergraduate student in 6.152 shares the fluidic micro-droplet device they designed. The 40 um tall channels are faintly visible. After creating the inlet and outlet channels in PDMS (long through-holes), this device is ready for bonding to a glass slide and testing!
Here you can see the students' microfluidic and fabricated devices after the PDMS coring step. The next step will be to test the devices using the fluidic probe station.
