Popis: This paper presents an innovative plastic micro injection molding technique using replaceable disk-mold for applications to microfluidic systems and biochips. Precisely patterned and microfabricated wafer-type mold inserts can be easily loaded into the injection molding machine. Processing time for one chip was as fast as 10 seconds while hot embossing techniques require at least several minutes. Less than a few urn of precise patterns were also achieved. A promising new material has also been introduced and characterized using the developed injection molding technique as well as demonstrated for a disposable biochip.
