Viscous flow through microfabricated hyperbolic contractions (2007, methodology): “The channels were fabricated in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) from an SU-8 photoresist mold using standard soft-lithography techniques (McDonald et al. 2000; Ng et al. 2002).”
The centrifugal microfluidic Bio-Disk platform (2007, methodology): “The method is closely derived from the well-known ‘soft lithography’ approach elaborated by the Whitesides group [56].”
Whispering-gallery-mode biosensing: label-free detection down to single molecules (2008, background): “Planar resonators can also facilitate the integration with soft lithography–based microfluidic”
PDMS-Based Microfluidic Devices for Cell Culture (2018, background): “There are several different polymers that have been used for fabrication of microfluidic devices, including PMMA [47], polycarbonate (PC) [48], polyvinyl chloride (PVC) [49], polyimide (PI) [50], the family of cyclic olefin polymers (COC) [51], and PS [52].”
Ultrahigh-throughput screening in drop-based microfluidics for directed evolution (2010, methodology): “We make PDMS microfluidic devices using standard soft lithographic methods (14) using SU8-on-Si wafer masters, and PDMS-on-glass devices.”
