Final Setup and Evaluation
Experimental Setup Results Analysis
This page presents a biological experiment which showed that the setup of the flow channel works as predicted by the models (compare plots in the modeling section).

Channel construction with a technique photolithography

To construct our final channel, we used the technique photolithography. Photolithography is the photopatterning of channels from a mask (drawing of channels in 2D) and is based on the utilization of particular substances (photoresists) that become soluble to particular solvents after being exposed to UV light [1].


@BIOLOGISTS: I need some information about how exactly you constructed the channel. can you ask Olivier maybe to give you some proticols? I can then write them down. Can you also take a look at the reference? Is this what you did? Thanks

You can see below some photos of the channels and the channel building process:
