One embodiment of the disclosed welding process comprises providing plural heterogeneous materials, such as plural polymeric laminae, that form at least a part of a microfluidic device. Electromagnetic energy, such as laser or microwave energy, is applied to the materials for a period of time sufficient to effectively bond the heterogeneous materials together. For certain embodiments such method comprises providing plural laminae made from a first material, such as a substantially rigid material, positioned to substantially encompass at least one additional lamina made from a second, less rigid material.
