Description
Summary:This communication describes a simple and cost-effective method for fabricating glass microchannels by wet chemical etching using masks made by xurography in vinyl adhesive films. Analytical performance of microfluidic devices fabricated using the new approach was evaluated by microchip electrophoresis coupled to capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection.
