Abstract

Methods for fabrication of microfluidic systems on printed circuit boards (PCB) are described. The PCB contains layers of insulating material and a layer or layers of metal buried within layers of insulating material. The metal layers are etched away, leaving fully enclosed microfluidic channels buried within the layers of insulating material.
