Abstract
A microfluidic chip includes a thin biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (“BoPET”) film and a micro-channel in the BoPET film. A method for manufacturing a microfluidic chip includes coating UV epoxy on a first side of a BoPET film, placing the BoPET film on a first substrate with the first side facing the first substrate, curing the UV epoxy on the first side of the BoPET film to attach the BoPET film on the first substrate; forming at least one microfluidic pathway in the BoPET film, coating UV epoxy on a first side of a second substrate, placing the second substrate on the BoPET film with the first side of the second substrate facing a second side of the BoPET film, and curing the UV epoxy on the first side of the second substrate to attach the BoPET film to the second substrate. The microfluidic chip may be a multi-layered chip.
