Area of Science:

  • Additive Manufacturing
  • Microfluidics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Two-photon Direct Laser Writing (DLW) offers high resolution for 3D printing.
  • Ex situ DLW (esDLW) enables printing on macroscale tubing, but custom multilumen tubing is a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method for fabricating submillimeter multilumen tubing compatible with esDLW.
  • To overcome limitations in creating custom tubing for advanced microfluidic device fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new fabrication technique for submillimeter multilumen tubing.
  • Utilized esDLW for 3D printing microstructures atop the fabricated tubing.
  • Demonstrated independent fluid flow through multiple lumens.

Main Results:

  • Successfully fabricated 743 μm-diameter tubing with three 80 μm inner diameter lumens.
  • Confirmed independent flow of distinct fluorescent fluids through each lumen.
  • Achieved effective esDLW 3D printing of a MEMS microstructure on the tubing.

Conclusions:

  • The novel tubing fabrication method facilitates esDLW 3D printing of complex microfluidic systems.
  • This approach enables sealed, multi-lumen fluidic interfaces for applications in drug delivery, diagnostics, and robotics.
  • Paves the way for advanced, geometrically sophisticated microfluidic devices.
