A microfluidic array, a method for producing same, a measuring system comprising the microfluidic array, and a use.

Microfluidic array, method of manufacture, measuring system comprising the microfluidic array, and use

An organomimetic device includes a microfluidic device that can be used to culture cells in its microfluidic channels. The organomimetic device can be part of dynamic system that can apply mechanical forces to the cells by modulating the microfluidic device and the flow of fluid through the microfluidic channels. The membrane in the organomimetic device can be modulated mechanically via pneumatic means and/or mechanical means. The organomimetic device can be manufactured by the fabrication of individual components separately, for example, as individual layers that can be subsequently laminated together.

Organomimetic devices and methods of use and manufacturing thereof

The present invention relates to the use of a substrate for enhancing the fluorescence of a fluorescent molecule, wherein the substrate comprises a solid polymer carrier having a plurality of recesses separated from each other and wherein the solid carrier is coated at least in part by a metal.

Substrate for fluorescence amplification

A plurality of polymer slides, each having a polymer part with a first polymer surface portion uncoated and a second surface portion coated with a metal. The first and second surface portions each have different surface coating properties and have respective first and second specified degrees of hydrophobicity which are different from each other. A hydrophobic small molecule is located in the polymer part of each polymer slide, and the hydrophobic small molecule and the polymer are essentially inert to one another. Adjacent polymer slides are arranged in a manner that the first polymer surface of one slide faces a metal coated second surface portion of another slide. The hydrophobic small molecule evaporates from said first polymer surface portion of the polymer part of one polymer slide onto the adjacent metal coated second surface portion of another polymer slide.

Polymer slides having hydrophobic small molecules

A method of producing a polymer part comprising the following steps: (a) incorporating a hydrophobic small molecule into the polymer before, during or after manufacture of the polymer part, the hydrophobic small molecule and the polymer being essentially inert to one another; and (b) annealing the polymer part to induce migration of the hydrophobic small molecules to a surface of the polymer part to provide that surface with a specified degree of hydrophobicity defined by the combination of the polymer and the hydrophobic small molecule; is described. Polymer parts made according to the method are also described.

Method of producing a polymer part and polymer part

The present invention relates to a polymeric substrate having a glass-like surface, in particular an etched-glass-like surface and to a chip made of at least one such polymeric substrate. The present invention also relates to a method of providing a polymeric substrate with an etched-glass-like surface. Moreover, the present invention relates to a kit for manufacturing a chip using such polymeric substrate. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of a polymeric substrate having a glass-like surface, in particular an etched-glass-like surface for manufacturing a chip.
