Abstract
Since the introduction of microfluidics in the 1990s, the community has investigated numerous methods for their fabrication. However, there is interest for their inexpensive rapid prototyping. PCB technology as a low-cost, massfabrication approach for the realization of sensors has attracted attention, while its use for microfluidics is also gaining ground. In this paper the development and characterization of a microfluidic Y-channel is presented. The proposed design and assembly process for realizing the device is described in detail and the flow rate and mixing within the microchannel are characterized, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed novel technology for lab-on-PCB devices.
