2.1 Design
The designed device is a monolithic chip manufactured from glass, vinyl,
and PDMS (Fig. 1). Glass provides tightness and easier handling of the
chip; vinyl defines the microfluidic chamber pattern and PDMS seals the
device on the top and enables a correct fit for the tubing. The chip is
integrated inside the microfluidic system through two PVC tubes attached
to the inlet and outlet channels.
