title: Micropillars Fabricated on Poly(methyl methacrylate) Substrates for Separation of Microscale Objects.
abstract: Development of polymeric microfluidic devices has played an important role in the recent, rapid progress of biomedical research. Here we report a fabrication method for micropillars on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates for separation of microscale objects. The fabricated micropillars enable continuous separation of microparticles only by introducing fluids. The present method offers a new strategy to fabricate polymeric prototype devices for R&D work.
