Soft lithography - PDMS molding

  • Silicon masters
  • 40g PDMS + 4g curing agent
  • curing 80°C/2h

Soft lithography - Bonding PDMS-Glass

Preparation of the substrates

Glass slide
  • Rinse the glass slide with acetone, isopropanol, and deionized water
  • Dry the glass slide with air gun
  • Dehydrate the glass slide on a hot plate at 120°C for 30 minutes
PDMS
  • Slice the PDMS to individual PDMS replicas
  • Drill holes for microfluidic inlets and outlets
  • Clean the PDMS using a scotch tape

Air plasma treatment

  • Place the glass slide and the PDMS replicas into a plasma cleaner, contact surfaces facing upwards
  • Exhaust the atmosphere with a vacuum pump and wait until the pressure drops to 500 mTorr
  • Activate the plasma for 2.5 minutes at Hi power
  • Stop the plasma and open the valve to stabilize the pressure, continue immediately with the bonding phase

Permanent irreversible bonding

  • Place the PDMS replica on the glass slide
  • Place the bonded device in an oven at 80°C for 60 minutes.
  • Seal the inlets and outlets with a scotch tape until use
