Abstract
A 3D printed microfluidic lab-on-a-disk (LOAD) for generation of oil-in-water droplets is presented. The device is the first solution combining droplet microfluidics, centrifugal technique, and additive manufac-turing technology. Compared to standard LOADs, which are fabricated using subtractive methods, additive manufacturing technology has enabled development of a new research tool that can be easily and quickly replicated or redesigned for versatile microfluidic lab processes, e.g. sample preparation, biochemical reactions, or biomarker detection, with high potential for point-of-care applications.
