title: Polymer based micro-reactors.
abstract: In this paper, we describe the fabrication technologies necessary for the production of polymer-based micro-fluidic devices. These technologies include hot embossing as a micro-structuring method as well as so-called back-end processes to complete the micro-devices. Applications such as capillary electrophoresis, micro-mixers and nanowell plates are presented.
