Hi Sam,
We use uv-cureable polymers and printed masks for the mold, PDMS & SIFEL (fluorinated silicon) for the chip, vakuum pumps to degas the PDMS and corona treatment to bond the PDMS to glass.
Well, there are more DIY friendly ways to do microfluidics, but we have to deal with strong solvents for dna synthesis and got funds.
Best,
Alex

Hi,
This sounds like a great idea. I'm involved with the London biohacking group and I'm interested in maybe doing some microfluidics stuff for somewhat related projects. Just wondering what kind of fabrication methods you're using and what kind of scales you're achieving?
Cheers,
Sam

I'd like to give you further details, but it's too early for reliable details, we are still in a early prototyping stage. A single module will have a single column, should provide similar write lenghts and error rates like usual column based synthesizers, but rather low throughput due to the microfluidics. It's rather designed to be a rapid dna prototyper, than for massiv amounts of dna.
