Irreversibly Plasma-Bonded PDMS Microfluidic Devices
PDMS microfluidic devices were irreversibly plasma-bonded on the glass surface of 6-well imaging plates using the Henniker HPT-200 benchtop plasma system in this research at the Department of Neuroscience at Eli Lilly and the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The study was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry and advances the understanding of the propagation of the ‘Tau’ protein, which is a key hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, through the use of microfluidic devices. The Henniker HPT-200 system was used to plasma clean and activate the surface of both Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and glass well plates to ensure permanent bonding of the two materials.
