    摘要: A method for printing one or more desired features on a polymeric substrate. In an example embodiment, the method includes receiving an ink that includes a bio-reactive indicator material, and employing a piezoelectric printhead to deposit the ink on a polymeric substrate. The polymer substrate with the ink deposited thereon represents a diagnostic testing device for performing a test on a material sample. The method further includes employing UltraViolet (UV) light to cure the ink. The ink may include an electrically conductive material. A UV light source may be coupled to a piezoelectric printhead and actuated in response to a control signal from a controller to facilitate curing materials deposited on the polymeric substrate.

    摘要: The invention relates to structures for supporting the filling of wells, in particular in microfluidic devices and provides a microfluidic device, comprising a substrate with at least a first horizontal channel which continues as a first vertical chimney channel into a first well having a greater depth than the first horizontal channel with respect to an upper surface of the substrate, wherein the first vertical channel is half open to the volume of the first well. A method for filling a well of a microfluidic device using the device is also an object of the disclosure.
