Création d’une nouvelle ressource faisant partie intégrante de la CMNF (Centrale de Micro-Nano-Fabrication), pour l’élaboration et la caractérisation de dispositifs microfluidiques
- Within this resource, a digital milling machine control placed in the back-end allows the machining of fluidic components (chips in particular), or mechanical (mold for example) in polymers or other hard materials
- A workstation dedicated to the manufacture of polymers (PDMS mainly) includes all the necessary equipment for the formulation of polymer mixtures (planetary mixer, precision balance, degasser, oven, spin-coater...)
- Thanks to the PICO plasma frame, cleaning as well as surface activation is possible
- A station dedicated to xurography will allow the cutting of thin polymer films with a tracing knife
- A KRUSS goniometer is also available to allow surface characterization for wettability and contact angle type measurements
- Finally, a station dedicated to the control of chips at the end of the process is equipped with a pressure controller as well as a stereoscopic microscope for device observationFinally, a station dedicated to the control of chips at the end of the process is equipped with a pressure controller as well as a stereoscopic microscope for device observation
Creation of a technological and scientific continuity between the soft-lithography resource and the Bio-Microfluidics laboratory
