Soft Robotics: A Perspective—Current Trends and Prospects for the Future (2014, methodology): “In addition to stretchable electronic sensors and circuits, soft microfluidics have also been used in lab-on-a-chip technologies for applications such as biological cell sorting and diagnostic assay analysis.(12) Soft microfluidic circuits are currently produced with soft lithography fabrication met”
Characterization of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Properties for Biomedical Micro/Nanosystems (2005, background): “Moreover, the most successful silicon-based microfabrication process has been photolithography, which is expensive, works for a limited set of materials, and is often limited to planar surfaces (Deng et al., 2000; Quake and Scherer, 2000; Xia and Whitesides, 1998).”
Microfluidics: Fluid physics at the nanoliter scale (2005, background): “The advantages and applications of soft rather than silicon microfluidics have been reviewed McDonald et al., 2000; Quake and Scherer, 2000; Whitesides and Stroock, 2001; Whitesides et al., 2001; Ng et al., 2002; Sia and Whitesides, 2003 .”
ENGINEERING FLOWS IN SMALL DEVICES (2004, methodology): “We also leave aside a discussion of the variety of methods for making microdevices (e.g., see Madou 1997, Kovacs 1998, Quake & Scherer 2000, Ng et al. 2002), and only mention that most techniques produce planar structures with long and narrow channels for which lubrication-style analyses are often…”
Deconstructing the third dimension – how 3D culture microenvironments alter cellular cues (2012, background): “…on soft lithography can be used to control the finer features of the soluble microenvironment, including the timing and spatial presentation of biological factors (Quake and Scherer, 2000), or can simply reduce the effective culture volume and, thus, amplify autocrine signals (Yu et al., 2007).”
Developing optofluidic technology through the fusion of microfluidics and optics (2006, methodology): “Although any microfluidic fabrication method can, in principle, be adapted to synthesize optofluidic devices, most of the implementations thus far have been with soft lithograph”
