Abstract:A new method of water pretreatment for thermal bonding polymethylmethacrylate microfluidic chip was proposed in this paper. The bonding rate (effective bonding area) of microfluidic chip under different pretreatment time was studied and the mechanism of this method was discussed. The main thermal bonding parameters were as follows: bonding pressure 1.4 similar to 1.9 Mpa, temperature 91 similar to 93A degrees C, time 360 s. The experimental result shows that this method can increase the effective bonding area, improve the bonding quality of the microfluidic chip compared to the conventional thermal bonding method. The optimal water pretreatment time is 1 h with the bonding rate increased by 34% compared with the conventional thermal bonding method. The pollution to the micro-channels is avoided and the performance of the microfluidic system will be reserved with this water pretreatment method. This method is available for the biochemical analysis of the chip, and holds the benefits of easy-operation, high-efficiency and low-cost properties.
