Master fabrication is based on exposure of a photoresist through a printed transparency with the channel layout. Plasma treatment of PDMS surfaces is employed to temporarily increase the hydrophilicity, and for permanent bonding between PDMS layers.

Complex microstructures are realised by sandwiching one or more such layers between thicker support slabs.

By introducing a sample flow into the centre of a sheath flow thin sample streams are generated. Theory describing the sample stream radius as a function of sheath and sample flow rates is presented.
