A one-step protocol for the chemical derivatisation of glass microfluidic devices

Lab Chip. 2006 Apr;6(4):471-3. doi: 10.1039/b517927k. Epub 2006 Mar 7.

Abstract

A simple and robust derivatisation system for glass and silica microdevices is described. The device surface is coated in a one-step treatment with a highly cross-linked polystyrene/divinylbenzene/allylsiloxane copolymer. The surface derivatisation is highly resistant to solvents, acids, bases and oxidising or reducing agents.
