| abstract |
The present invention relates to a device comprising a flexible shank, and the shank comprises a microfluidic channel having an aperture, particularly a hollow flexible needle, more particularly a flexible micropipette or a flexible, hollow cantilever, and a method for manufacturing thereof, wherein the method comprises a layer-by-layer deposition and curing, wherein the microfluidic channel is formed by means of a sacrificial filing body layer made of metal. Hereby are described the production of complex tip shapes in parallel and additionally, the integration of force sensing onto the devices. |
