“…Microfluidic MIC test strips were prepared as described. 13 Briefly, microcapillary film with 10 parallel capillaries of 270 μm capillary diameter were hydrophilic coated by incubating 5 mg mL −1 polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) ( M w 146, 000–186, 000, >99% hydrolysed, Sigma Aldrich, UK) for 2 h at room temperature. The PVOH was removed by washing the capillaries with sterile Ultrapure Milli-Q water.…”
