    Abstract: The invention provides a new process for patterning TPE membranes for use in the design and fabrication of 3D microfluidic devices. The process involves patterning a TPE material without permitting the highest features of the mold to come into contact with the counter-plate, whereby adhesion between the TPE and the mold or counter-plate during demolding results directly in removal of the excess layer from the TPE membrane to produce well formed micrometric-sized open-through holes in the TPE membrane. The process permits rapid, reliable and efficient patterning of densely packed and arbitrarily placed micrometric open-through holes and channels of high aspect-ratio and any shape or wall profile in thin TPE membranes.

    Abstract: A centrifugal microfluidic device is provided having a microfluidic circuit, a fluid reservoir for providing fluid in the microfluidic circuit, a hydrodynamic resistance element in fluid communication with the reservoir for controlling rate of flow of a fluid out of the reservoir, and a siphoned chamber in fluid communication with the hydrodynamic resistance element and the microfluidic circuit for receiving fluid from the hydrodynamic resistance element and for delaying and metering of the fluid into the microfluidic circuit. The microfluidic device is useful for performing a biological assay. Operation of the device is completely independent on the liquid-solid contact angle and wetting properties of the liquids on the solid material of the platform, and the device does not need a carefully controlled rotation protocol.

    Abstract: Glass as a substrate for fluorescence-based assays is expensive. Disclosed is a poly(cyclic olefin) alternative to glass that is of comparable sensitivity. More specifically, disclosed is a method of making a microdevice for the immobilization of biomolecules for the purpose of carrying out a fluorescence-based assay, said method comprising providing a substrate comprising a poly(cyclic olefin); protecting the substrate from ultraviolet (UV) light; and subjecting a surface of said UV-protected substrate to ozone oxidation to activate said surface; wherein a content of intrinsic fluorophores on the surface of the substrate remains substantially unchanged after the ozone oxidation. Also disclosed is a microdevice for the immobilization of biomolecules for the purpose of carrying out a fluorescence-based assay, said microdevice comprising a body comprising a poly(cyclic olefin), said body having an ozone-activated surface substantially free of intrinsic fluorophores; wherein said activated surface is substantially free of intrinsic fluorescence during a fluorescence-based assay of said biomolecules bound to said activated surface.
