Microfluidics Lecture (Sensors and Devices 05_1)

In this lecture I explain few methodologies for the fabrication of microfluidic devices. From glass to glass/PDMS to 3D printed microfluidics and single PDMS block. Which one is the best? researches mentioned in the lecture: how to make PDMS/Glass microfluidic devices:    • Fabrication of PDMS Microfluidic Devices   Lung on a chip:    • Lung on a Chip -- Wyss Institute   Multi organ on a chip:    • Lung on a Chip -- Wyss Institute   Soft wearable microfluidic device for colorimetric sensing of sweat: https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/8/...

"thanks" to the 2020 pandemic, part of the course BioNanoTechnology: Sensors & Devices taught at Wageningen University (the Netherlands) was done online. Please note that these videos are not the whole course, and many things are only mentioned here and discussed further during live lectures. 00:00 Introduction 02:07 Glass Microfluidics 05:24 PDMS-Glass Replica Molding 11:00 PDMS-PDMS Microfluidics 15:26 3D Printed Microfluidics 20:14 Embedded Scaffold Removing Open Technology (ESCARGOT)
