Abstract

In this work, total three individual polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microfluidic devices are fabricated by the maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography, drilling, direct bonding technique and chip separation technique. Dyed water is the working liquid. One sudden expansion microchannel and two microchannel bends are tested by dyed water. The surfacedriven capillary flow is recorded by the CMOS camera. This work will be useful in the fabrication of PMMA lab-on-a-chip systems for microfluidic applications.
