摘要：
A new technology for fluidic microsystems has been developed at Restock University. This new technology is based on the manufacturing principles of printed circuit boards (PCB). The same manufacturing steps closely connect fluidic and electric components. Unlike the requirements for other technologies, e.g., silicon technology, only moderately complex equipment is necessary. The microsystems fabricated by this new technology can handle fluids (transport, mix, flow control, heating) and can measure properties such as temperature, viscosity, density, colour and pH-values. Various applications are possible in chemistry, biology, medicine and many other technical fields. Compatibility with electronic technologies is the main objective of this development. The technology allows low production costs even for small quantities, so it is suitable for small companies and for special applications. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
