A METHOD TO PRODUCE A MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE HAVING VERTICAL ELECTRODES AND A DEVICE OBTAINED FROM IT

摘要

A method (100) is described to produce a microfluidic device (50, 60, 70) from a watertight structure (32, 33). The method (100) comprises a step (10) of forming, inside such a watertight structure (32, 33), a first fluidic microchannel network (51, 62, 72), that can be filled with one or more fluids, organic and inorganic, to be stimulated or controlled, and a second network of microchannels (52, 61, 73), that can be filled with an electrically conductive material that can act as impedance or conductor and interacts with such one or more fluids to be stimulated or controlled. Moreover, a microfluidic device (50, 60, 70) is described, made with the aforementioned method (100).
