Description:

This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication. This worflow summarizes the main steps in generating a PDMS chip from its design to application. Modeling the chip using CAD and doing simulations are the necessary steps before the actual fabrication. The overall process of chip-making can be time-consuming and requires a great deal of precision. The first phase of fabrication is to etch a mould onto a silicon base. Once this mould is complete, PDMS can be poured on the top and then peeled off to obtain the chip.
