A microfluidic device comprising a multi-layer film having a conductive layer and a polymeric layer disposed adjacent the conductive layer, a microchannel extending through the multi-layer film, where the microchannel has a perimeter surface, and a hydrophilic layer disposed on the perimeter surface of the microchannel. The hydrophilic layer comprises at least about 20% by weight silicon and at least about 40% by weight oxygen. |
