Abstract

This paper reports a miniaturized device for detection of optical information for microfluidic phenomena in in vivo and in vitro experimentation. Such microdevice is based on multilayer PDMS technology having good optical properties, transparency and biological compatibility. The design and optimization strategies are here presented along with the realization and characterization of the device. It is designed as a replacement for standard intravital microscopy, working as a disposable interface between live tissue in animal preparations and the processing technology oriented to blood flow characterization; it is therefore applicable to flow monitoring in microcirculation experimentation and in modular micro-total-analysis devices.
