METHOD OF INSERTION OF POROUS MATERIALS IN MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES

摘要

A microfluidic device comprises a glass, ceramic or vitroceramic structure, with at least one microfluidic pathway, holding a porous membrane intersecting said microfluidic pathway, characterized in that said glass structure is made of a first glass material with a first Softening Point (SP) and a first Thermal Expansion Coefficient (TEC), said porous membrane is made of a second glass material with a second softening point and a second Thermal Expansion Coefficient; wherein the second Softening Point is different from the first softening point whereas the second Thermal Expansion Coefficient is close to the first Thermal Expansion Coefficient.
