Fabrication and characterization of microfluidic devices based on boron-modified epoxy resin using CO laser ablation for bio-analytical applications.

CO laser ablation is a rapid and precise technique for machining microfluidic devices. And also, low-cost epoxy resin (ER) proved the great feasibility of fabricating these devices using the CO laser ablation technique in our previous studies. However, such a technique has shown negative impacts on such ER-based microfluidics as rough surface microchannels, and thermal defects.
