Passive Capillary Flow of Red Dye in the SU-8 based Glass Microfluidic Devices

Subhadeep Mukhopadhyay

Abstract


In this work, total three individual SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices are fabricated by the maskless lithography and indirect bonding technique. Commercially available red coloured food dye is used as working liquid. Individual surface-driven capillary flows of red dye are recorded by the CMOS camera. This work will be useful in bioengineering applications.

Keywords
