We propose a new collaborative relationship between my research laboratory at UT and the Bio-Rad Research Laboratory at Mississauga, Ontario. Our work will focus on the company-specific problem of devising scalable manufacturing approaches for including conducting electrodes into hot embossed microfluidic devices. Microfluidic devices manufactured in thermoplastic substrate materials become increasingly attractive, fueled in part by their scalable manufacturability using commercial hot embossing and injection molding processes. In the proposed project, we will systematically assess strategies for integrating electrodes into thermoplastic substrates.

我们提议在我的 UT 研究实验室和安大略省米西索加的 Bio-Rad 研究实验室之间建立新的合作关系。我们的工作将重点关注公司特有的问题，即设计可扩展的制造方法，将导电电极纳入热压花微流体装置中。 用热塑性基材制造的微流体装置变得越来越有吸引力，部分原因在于它们使用商业热压花和注塑工艺的可扩展制造能力。在拟议的项目中，我们将系统地评估将电极集成到热塑性基材中的策略。
