Optimization of a microfluidic cartridge for Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) application and bio-testing for DNA/RNA extraction

A bio-microfluidic cartridge has been developed with integrated reservoir and valves for Lab on a chip (LOC) applications, e.g. extracting DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) from human blood. A combination of different materials such as thermoplastic and elastomer are used to fabricate the microfluidic cartridge.
