Abstract
The field of microfluidics has developed remarkably in the last 20 years. Consequently, leading companies in the sector have derived their research towards the search for new methodologies for the production of highly complex microfluidic devices at a faster pace and with lower production costs.
This project aims to find new ways of lab-on-a-chip production. Due to the micro/nanoscale in which it works, it presents a challenge that greatly hinders production using conventional techniques at a low cost.
New processes focused on plastic injection will be studied and will focus on satisfying cost reduction, as well as maintaining the quality standards that prevail in large factories. The evolution of the project will be supported by molding simulations, in order to determine the most decisive variables during the process.
The world of microfluidics in general and in that of lab-on-a-chips, in particular, is evolving at an exponential level, which is why it is of vital importance to develop this study on the possibilities that this work methodology can offer and that for granted it will be established worldwide.
