Abstract:

A new type of nylon membrane-based microfluidic chips was fabricated by transferring the positive photoresist onto the thin membrane material via photolithography. It was found that the fabrication period can be controlled in 1 h with substantive production, and the whole fabrication processes was simplified and improved. Meanwhile, by fixing horseradish peroxidase and glucose oxidase on the membrane chips, glucose samples were assayed at different concentrations based on the two-steps enzymatic reactions. Additionally, the obviously changed color corresponding to the gradient concentration of glucose shows that the new type membrane chips could be used extensively in practice in the future.
