Step-by-Step Process Principles and Operational Standards (Mass Production Specifications of Suzhou Wenhao)<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-R7h3f24sydH6qScIWrMcesmjnzc\">2.1 PDMS Pouring: The First Step of Microchannel Replication<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-RNgvfVlxOdJtEZcNZQuc9IzUnkb\"><strong>Pre-preparation<\/strong>: A silicon wafer is processed via spin coating, photolithography and development to fabricate a SU-8 master mold with raised microchannel structures. The PDMS prepolymer and curing agent are fully mixed at a <strong>mass ratio of 10:1<\/strong>, followed by 30 minutes of vacuum defoaming to eliminate air bubbles generated during stirring.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-PTy1f1lcudd8Drc5F4CcTiYnn2b\"><strong>Operation Process<\/strong>: The defoamed liquid PDMS is slowly poured onto the surface of the SU-8 silicon master mold. A secondary vacuum pumping process is performed to remove tiny air bubbles introduced during pouring, ensuring no void defects inside the microchannels.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-NGGbfEPM9de87pcXRmKcdGMhnMg\"><strong>Industry Pain Points &amp; Solutions<\/strong>: Air bubbles directly cause channel blockage and fluid shunting. Equipped with fully automatic integrated vacuum defoaming equipment, Suzhou Wenhao\u2019s production line eliminates micron-scale bubble defects in batch processing.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-CAXlfYEAvdpDkoclae5chH2Cn8f\">2.2 Thermal Curing: Crosslinking for Elastic Substrate Formation<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Tq1ffAuXodA5aecyzvTc6Xhzn4C\"><strong>Curing Mechanism<\/strong>: The hydrosilylation crosslinking reaction occurs between the PDMS prepolymer and hydrogen-containing siloxane curing agent, transforming liquid PDMS into a solid elastic body.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-KswPfVtuWdcYVscWxWcc6J3lnXc\"><strong>Standard Process Parameters (Wenhao General Specification)<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul class=\"list-bullet1\">\n<li class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-V97pfM3IldNRcGcSRwTcO6EBnjh\" data-list=\"bullet\">\n<div>Conventional laboratory processing: Curing in an oven at 65~80\u2103 for 2~4 hours<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-OL77f1XHUdMNK4cRI00cDXwPncC\" data-list=\"bullet\">\n<div>High-speed batch processing: Constant-temperature curing at 120\u2103 for 20~30 minutes<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-HzYJfSrtWdqJ9rcXDmscfPzDn8d\"><strong>Precautions<\/strong>: Abrupt temperature fluctuations are prohibited during curing, as they induce internal thermal stress and cause chip warpage after demolding. The PDMS must be cooled to room temperature before demolding to prevent tensile deformation of microchannel structures.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-EMpLfbjEod8LrxcfuAYc6wKNnlf\">2.3 Demolding: Complete Peeling of Replicated Microchannel Chips<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Nhvkf0D7ddMMDhco12bckVPen3f\">After full cooling, the entire PDMS sheet is slowly peeled off along the edge of the silicon mold. The raised SU-8 structures accurately replicate recessed microchannels on the inner surface of PDMS.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-TwqsfL7N8dmuFHc7MzIcxs9Qnbg\"><strong>Mass Production Optimization<\/strong>: Reusable SU-8 silicon molds require prior silanization treatment to reduce adhesion between PDMS and photoresist, avoiding microchannel tearing during demolding. The standardized silanization process in Wenhao\u2019s mold workshop significantly extends the service life of master molds and reduces customers\u2019 mold replacement costs.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-Uz91fy2MtdCDsxcIW5DcuoGrnSg\">2.4 Punching: Fabrication of Fluid Inlets and Outlets<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-OyLBf5QrfdhjzNcVhwfc3A7knoo\">According to the experimental microchannel layout, standard punches are used to drill upstream sample inlets and downstream waste liquid outlets on PDMS chips.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-RiJ9fqA0xdiZUqcDVKdcwZVsn0e\"><strong>Operational Details<\/strong>: Vertical punching is required to ensure smooth, burr-free hole walls. The hole diameter is precisely matched with the outer diameter of connecting capillaries and hoses to prevent high-pressure fluid leakage. A chip thickness of \u22653mm is recommended to avoid cracking during punching, suitable for high-pressure micro-pump fluid experiments.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-F486f6GSld3ZGNcvVZfcge6Dnvg\">2.5 Oxygen Plasma Cleaning: Core Procedure for Surface Activation<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-YFQGffPvIdhycRcIx8ZcfcprnEb\">The native PDMS surface is covered with methyl groups (-CH\u2083), exhibiting strong hydrophobicity and poor adhesion to glass. After oxygen plasma bombardment and oxidation, a large number of hydrophilic silanol groups (-Si-OH) are generated on the PDMS surface. This process simultaneously removes organic contaminants and demolding residues from the chip surface, achieving dual effects.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-PSj3fcgYcdDU6ncrjWvctmtPnYe\"><strong>Synchronous Substrate Treatment<\/strong>: The glass slides for chip sealing are placed in the plasma cleaner for synchronous treatment to generate surface silanol groups, providing a chemical foundation for irreversible covalent bonding.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-OhEYfh0SCdvyZncXhcHcFjC0nGf\">2.6 Bonding: Permanent Sealing of PDMS and Glass<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-ADH5fLyDzd6sGDcpKWwcw5Ednme\">Immediately after plasma treatment, the activated PDMS microchannel surface is precisely aligned and bonded to the glass slide. Gentle pressure is applied to expel interfacial air, followed by baking at 60~80\u2103 for 15~30 minutes to accelerate dehydration and condensation of interfacial silanol groups, forming stable irreversible Si-O-Si covalent bonds.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-JBKYf12V1dRhfdcGCrmcLCoOnkh\"><strong>Process Advantages<\/strong>: Compared with temporary tape lamination, plasma-bonded chips withstand fluid pressure of hundreds of kPa without leakage. The inner channel walls maintain high hydrophilicity, enabling direct cell and aqueous solution experiments without additional surface modification. This process is widely applied in microdroplet generation, single-cell capture, long-term organ-on-a-chip culture and other scenarios.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-LQGIfDZtLduUSxcf8ipcjSagnpe\">3.
