Popis: The UV-nanoimprint lithography(UV-NIL) fabrication of a novel network of micron-sized channels, forming an open channel microfluidic system is described. Details about the complete manufacturing process, from mastering to fabrication in small batches and in high throughput with up to 1200 micro titer plates per hour is presented. Deep insight into the evaluation of a suitable UV-curable material, mr-UVCur26SF is given, presenting cytotoxic evaluation, cell compatibility tests and finally a neuronal assay. The results indicate how the given pattern, in combination with the resist, paves the way to faster, cheaper, and more reliable drug screening. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement NO. 646260. The research was also partially supported by NextGenMicrofluidics project under HORIZON2020 with grant agreement no 862092.
