| Summary: | Paper Micro -fluidic Devices is continuously being researched and developed
since it provides abundant advantages to the society. Some applications include medical
and clinical diagnostics and assays. Its cheap commercialization value allows it to be a
highly attractive device. The main focus of this project is to investigate the best
parameters in fabricating a channel on paper via Photolithography. Successful results
were obtained where the flow of fluid was consistent from one end of the channel to the
other. The resulting optimum parameters are fabrication on Whatman 1 paper, spin
coating intensity of 2750 rpm, UV exposure for 21 seconds, washing of SU8 photo resist
with Acetone for 5 minutes and plasma cleaning for 30 seconds. Suggestions and future
directions of further research and developments were highlighted.
