Abstract

A method for manufacturing a microfluidic device can include providing a base component to define a first portion of the microfluidic device. A cap component of the microfluidic device can be fabricated with a sealing lip extending a first distance from a first side of the cap component and a support portion extending a second distance, less than the first distance, from the first side of the cap component. The method can include positioning the cap component and the base component within a mold to bring the sealing lip of the cap component in contact with the base component. The base component, the support portion of the cap component, and the sealing lip of the cap component together can define a cavity. The method can include injecting a polymer material into the mold to cause the polymer material to fill the cavity.
