A method of forming interconnections between channels and/or chambers for us e in a micro-fluidic device. Two planar substrates (10, 12) (usually glass and silicon respectively) having etched channels (14 , 15) are bonded together to form volmes (16) where the channels (14, 15) overlap. A manifolding cut (20) is then made through the glass to intersect channels (15) in the silicon layer. Another cut (21) is made through the glass, intersecting glass channels (14) only. An organic solution is passed into cut (20), and flows through silicon channels (15). An aqueous solution is passed into cut (21), and flows throug h glass channels (14). The solutions meet in the region (16), where matter is transferred from one solution to the other. |
