Researchers Use Micromilling Technique to Fabricate Microfluidic Devices

In this study, Dr. Diana and her team of researchers present an inexpensive method suitable to develop microfluidic devices used in the biomedical field. Even though soft-lithography is the commonly used method to fabricate biomedical microdevices, it is still a time-consuming and expensive method. The growth in developing milling tools that are smaller than 100 µm, has resulted in the use of micromilling machines to produce microfluidic devices that have the ability to execute the cell separation process.
