Oh, connecting right at a cut edge is not necessarily the way to get it done. This is fabbing from low cost films in
clean conditions, and bonding them together. A connection can probably be made to a hole in a film by some larger structure
just like a Si chip was bonded to the polyamide tape on that circuit example I sent you Nathan. Looks like tiny bead of epoxy.

Like that idea. That could become a low cost prepared cartridge sealed with tape, ready for one use after pulling out a tab.

I like the way it avoids attempting to push "jello" through a "super skinny straw", (lukewarm agarose : microchannel).
