Micropillars Fabricated on Poly(methyl methacrylate) Substrates for Separation of Microscale Objects

抄録

Development of polymeric microfluidic devices has played an important role in the recent, rapid progress of biomedical research. Here we report a fabrication method for micropillars on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates for separation of microscale objects. The fabricated micropillars enable continuous separation of microparticles only by introducing fluids. The present method offers a new strategy to fabricate polymeric prototype devices for R&D work.
