Article Synopsis
- The development of artificial lipid bilayers that are stable and can be easily manipulated opens new possibilities for real-world applications.
- Although droplet interface bilayers (DIBs) show promise in lab settings, their widespread use is limited due to stability issues and manual production methods.
- Advances in multiphase microfluidics allow for the creation of stable droplet networks that can interact with various environments, facilitating potential applications in medicine, drug testing, and biophysical research.
The uptake of microfluidics by the wider scientific community has been limited by the fabrication barrier created by the skills and equipment required for the production of traditional microfluidic devices. Here we present simple 3D printed microfluidic devices using an inexpensive and readily accessible printer with commercially available printer materials. We demonstrate that previously reported limitations of transparency and fidelity have been overcome, whilst devices capable of operating at pressures in excess of 2000 kPa illustrate that leakage issues have also been resolved.
