Abstract:

AbstractA method is presented that permits the microfabrication of glass chips for micro total analytical systems and micro chemical reactors in the general laboratory. The method does not require any specialist facilities, and for the first time provides a reliable and reproducible method for fabricating such devices without access to a clean room. The predictability of the process is achieved by utilising commercially available starting materials.
