Principles of Mold Making for Microfluidic Rapid Prototyping
See Microfluidic Mold Making for instructions.
I have assembled 3 more Barrett Chamber/ SC114 pnc-Si microfluidic devices this week. Currently, there are 2 Barrett chambers remaining and the mold is missing. The mask to make the mold still exists, however, there was a lack of N2 gas for processing (spin-coater requisite), so Henry and I were not able to make another mold. The silicone method that Henry posited also seems plausible, and would save us time making specific designs, but more experimentation is necessary to see if the chamber/gasket/filter complex can hold up to the necessary pressures. Clamping the pieces together might work with the right metal (pipe cleaners are fairly conformable and hold their shape).
