Ultrasonic bonding of microfluidic devices

The objective of this study was to find optimal bonding parameters to achieve desirable weld quality in terms of seal appearance and leak-proof sealing with proper microfluidic flow between a micro-mixer and a cover plate. Microfluidic micro-mixer plates with inlets and cover plates were manufacture...
