Lab 5: Creating a Paper Microfluidic device

"This video is a tutorial on creating a paper microfluidic device through wax curing, droplet test, and choosing proper channels. Applications are demonstrated as well, including mixing and chemical sensors. Instructor: Dr. Katey Lo"
Lab 6A: PDMS Microfluidics - O2 Plasma Treatment

"This video is a tutorial on performing O2 plasma treatment of PDMS using a microwave oven. The demonstration includes how to set up the treatment, as well as testing the hydrophobicity of the treated PDMS. Instructor: Dr. Joseph Summers"

Lab 6B: PDMS Microfluidics - Preparing a Test Pattern

"This video is a tutorial of preparing a test pattern through a process of curing the PDMS, opening the microfluidic inlet and outlet ports, cleaning the PDMS, bonding it to glass, and using corona treatment. Instructor: Dr. Joseph Summers"

Lab 6C: PDMS Microfluidics - Testing the Devices

"This video is a demonstration of three tests on microfluidic devices on the MIT logo and a fluid flow visualization. Instructor: Dr. Joseph Summers"
