Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0125138A1] The present invention provides modular microfluidic devices and systems, as well as methods for their manufacture. A microfluidic device is provided comprising first and second substrates (59, 60), and at least one stencil (58) sandwiched between the first and second substrates so as to define one or more sealed microstructures therebetween. The stencil is adhered to at least one of the first and second substrates by an adhesive (44). In a preferred embodiment, there is a plurality of sandwiched stencils. Also, the first and second substrates are preferably substantially planar. These microfluidic devices can be rapidly prototyped with low tool-up cost, and can be easily assembled to form three-dimensional structures having complex microfluidic system geometries.
