Microfluidics Lecture (Sensors and Devices 05_1)

In this lecture I explain few methodologies for the fabrication of microfluidic devices. From glass to glass/PDMS to 3D printed microfluidics and single PDMS block. Which one is the best?

"thanks" to the 2020 pandemic, part of the course BioNanoTechnology: Sensors & Devices taught at Wageningen University (the Netherlands) was done online.
Please note that these videos are not the whole course, and many things are only mentioned here and discussed further during live lectures.
