3D printed PDMS microfluidics tips and tricks (ESCARGOT)

Few years ago we published a method on how to make complex, 3D microfluidic devices in an easy way and how to incorporate external components in the microfluidic device. Years later I still get emails asking for more explanations about the method, and this video should help with some of the questions :) The method is called ESCARGOT (Embedded SCAffold RemovinG Open Technology) (open access) And original video: Looking for syringe pumps for your microfluidic device? We used a 3D printer for making them: In this video I explain some tips and tricks on how to make PDMS microfluidics devices using a standard 3D printer, ABS, and Acetone. Those devices can be used for lab on a chip, as analytical devices or practically for any other microfluidics research. Using this method is also possible to embed external components directly in the microfluidics devic
