Hi,

I have produced a mold for microfluidic device, using 3D printer (SLA) with epoxy material. I'd like to build the microfluidic device using PDMS. Based on my reading, the mold need to be treated with plasma for surface activation as it has been reported that PDMS will not cure in epoxy-based mold. My questions are :

1. Does the plasma cleaner for surface activation (e.g Harrck, PDC-32G) has similar concept/function with plasma cleaner for electron microscope (Ibss Group, 10x Asher)?

2. Is there any way to do plasma treatment for surface activation, manually?

Thanks
