<p>• Place molds into a TMCS vapor chamber</p>
+
* [[Team:EPF-Lausanne/Protocols/Miniprep|Plasmid preparation - Miniprep]]: recover plasmids from a bacterial culture.
-
<p>• Control layer mixture: 20g Base + 4g Curing agent</p>
+

-
<p>• Mix for 1 minute, degas for 2 minutes (standard protocol)</p>
+
-
<p>• pour onto control layer mold and place mold in vacuum chamber</p>
+
-
<p>• Flow layer mixture: 20g Base + 1g Curing agent</p>
+
-
<p>• Mix for 1 minute and degas for 2 minutes (standard protocol)</p>
+
-
<p>• Spin coat onto flow layer at 2200-2400rpm for 35secs (so far you can use my protocol on a spin coater)</p>
+
-
<p>• Remove control layer mold from vacuum chamber, making sure no bubbles are left on the surface (remove with a toothpick if you see some )</p>
+
-
<p>• Place the control and flow layer in a 80C convection oven and incubate for 30 minutes (timing is critical here!)</p>
+
-
<p>• Remove casts from oven, cut out control layer, punch holes, and align to flow layer</p>
+
-
<p>• Put aligned device back into 80C oven and incubate for at least 90 minutes (and here you can increase the backing time)</p>
+
-
<p>• Remove devices from oven and punch flow layer holes</p>
