The microfluidic chip is a key element of future lab-on-a-chip devices that can be used outside hospitals. This chip solves one of the most common problems in analysis systems – the accurate dilution of reagents in a given ratio with subsequent mixing. Such manipulations are carried out millions of times a day, for example, by mixing the patient’s blood and reagents to detect diseases or check the patient’s compatibility with drugs. The chip consists of a microfluidic part with channels with a height of 50 and a width of 200 micrometers and a detection system of metal electrodes on a glass substrate. The manufacturing process of such a device includes dozens of technological operations: from lithography of the topology of the device layers to the precision multilayer assembly. Such devices of personalized medicine will allow in the shortest possible time to cope with serious threats to public health, including pandemic diseases.
