摘要： An electrochemical microfluidic device has one or a plurality of microstructures, such as a microchannel, in which an electrically conductive means is integrated to reduce the ohmic resistance within the microstructure and hence to improve electrochemical measurements particularly when large current densities are involved. The electrically conductive means can be connected as a counter-electrode and can be used to re-generate the product of the reaction occurring at the working electrode. A method of fabricating electrochemical microfluidic devices comprising such an electrically conductive means is also disclosed. The invention may particularly be used in all electrochemical sensor applications where detection is performed in small volumes.

摘要： An electrochemical flow monitoring device comprises a microfluidic system comprising at least one covered microchannel (3) having an inlet (4) and an outlet (5). A pressure difference is applied between the inlet and the outlet of the microfluidic system, for example by changing the relative heights of the inlet (4) and outlet (5), such as to generate a flow of solution within the microchannel (3). The microfluidic system has at least one electrode (8) for monitoring said flow of solution by measuring an electrochemical property of said solution.

摘要： The technology is based on the plasma etching of organic polymer sheets partially protected by a metallic mask. The originality of the process is to pattern the surface properties by the same physical means as the one used for the three dimensional fabrication and simultaneously to this fabrication. Surface properties mean, but are not limited to hydrophobicity hydrophilicity, conductivity, reflectability, rugosity and more precisely the chemical and/or physical state of the surface. It is also possible to generate the desired fonctionalities, for instance carboxylic acid, ester, ether, amid or imide, during the etching process. The patterning of the different properties may be achieved by two different techniques that may be used separately or simultaneously.
