Fabrication of Two-Layer Microfluidic Devices with Porous Electrodes Using Printed Sacrificial Layers.

ABSTRACT: Two-layer microfluidic devices with porous membranes have been widely used in bioapplications such as microphysiological systems (MPS). Porous electrodes, instead of membranes, have recently been incorporated into devices for electrochemical cell analysis. Generally, microfluidic channels are prepared using soft lithography and assembled into two-layer microfluidic devices. In addition to soft lithography, three-dimensional (3D) printing has been widely used for the direct fabrication of microfluidic devices because of its high flexibility. However, this technique has not yet been applied to the fabrication of two-layer microfluidic devices with porous electrodes. This paper proposes a novel fabrication process for this type of device. In brief, Pluronic F-127 ink was three-dimensionally p
