Microfluidics Device 3D-Printing Innovates Biomedical Fabrication

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
PASADENA, Calif., April 14, 2022 — Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) developed a printing technique that could provide the precision required to successfully 3D-print microfluidic channels on chips at a scale not previously seen. The technique is called in situ transfer vat photopolymerization (IsT-VPP). The use of microfluidic devices — compact testing tools composed of tiny channels carved on a chip — can lower the cost of drug development and aid in medical diagnostics. The traditional approach to fabricating these devices, soft lithography in a cleanroom setting, requires multiple...Read full article

    GLOSSARY
    photopolymerization
    A process in which a mixture of one or more monomers, plus a catalyst, polymerize under exposure to light radiation. Photopolymerization permits a hologram to be exposed, fixed and reconstructed in about one-half second.
