METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS, DEVICE FOR FUNCTIONALIZING MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS, MICROFLUIDIC CHIP AND DEVICE FOR HOLDING A MICROFLUIDIC CHIP.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing microfluidic chips having at least one capillary for through-flow of a fluid, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a starting material;
(b) forming at least one shared capillary in the starting material, said shared capillary comprising an fluidic inlet and an fluidic outlet;
(c) functionalizing the chips by supplying a functionalization fluid to the shared capillary; and
(d) dividing the starting material into separate chips. The invention further relates to a device for functionalizing microfluidic chips having at least one capillary for through-flow of a fluid, said device comprising a material holder for holding a starting material in a fixed position during functionalization, said material holder comprising at least one inlet connector for connecting at least one shared capillary formed in the starting material to a functionalization fluid supply. The invention further relates to a microfluidic chip and a device for holding a microfluidic chip.
