Investigation Of Irreversible Bonding Between Polydimethylsiloxane And Printed Circuit Board For Designing Leakage-Free Dna Biochip

One of the issues in designing a disposable DNA biochip based on capillary electrophoresis technology is the leakage of fluid in the microchannel though small gaps between electrodes. In this work a leakagefree and reusable biochip is designed for DNA separation and detection applications. The b...
