Abstract

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) based microfluidic devices integrated with a microfluidic pumping manifold which consists of 4 electromagnetic valves (EMV) were fabricated. The back and forth shuttling flow and its application in the DNA hybridization process were validated on a thermal plastic Zeonor 1060R substrate. The flow rate can be as fast as 23μl/min when the channel width and the channel height are in 100μm, and 25μm, respectively. The DNA hybridization process is detected by using a fluorescence microscopy. Remarkable DNA hybridization is achieved with the continuous flow of the target DNA at a concentration of 10 nM within the first 1 min by using this device.
