Abstract
Capillary introduction colored polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) precursor liquid to microfabricated straight channels was analyzed for opto-fluidic applications. The PDMS liquid was colored by Japanese black ink. The black PDMS is potentially used for light-shielding material after introduction. PDMS-glass microfluidic chips were used. Microchannels having in/out ports at both ends (open-end channel) and those having only one in/out port (dead-end channel) were prepared. The open-end channels were used for analyzing viscosity during the capillary introduction. Viscosity decrease with velocity was observed. Then, the dead-end channels were used for discussing the closed air effect on the capillary introduction. These informations will be useful for designing light-shielding in opto-microfluidic devices.
