摘要
Reversible tubing connections for glass micro-fluidic systems are realized using electro-chemical discharge machining of three-dimensional glass vias. The connections reversibly connect standard sized plastic tubing to holes in borosilicate microscope slides. Tubing connections are demonstrated on a sealed, micro-fluidic channel which is fabricated between two glass slides using SU-8. The connections are experimentally tested to withstand up to 30 psi (similar to206 kPa) of air pressure without leaking.
