Version Zero was our first shot at microfluidics. We wanted to perform a simple proof-of-concept: Get liquid flowing from an input hole through a spiral to an output hole. The chip was made from three laser cut layers: A top acrylic glass plate with the input and output wholes, a middle layer made out of double sided 3M tape that included the actual channels, and finally a bottom layer.
