  • Abstract
    This paper presents a rapid and low-cost fabrication method of parylene microchannels, so-called ´parylene micromolding´. Technical aspects of this new method are explored and some example products fabricated by this method are displayed. Among them, meander type channel, long spiral channel, electrophoretic channel, and dielectrophoretic channel are included.
