Abstract:Microfluidic connectors play a key role in the microfluidic packaging systems. This paper presents the results of a development of a new design of polymeric surface connector for single channel connection between tube and microfluidic chip. The design was evaluated using finite element analysis, which takes into account assembly forces and stresses on components. The design offers an easy and simple connection process and is compatible with most polymeric microfluidic systems using different diameter tubes. Pr… Show more
