Hot press for microfluidic structures

Hi

I am looking into hot embossing microfluidic structures in polymers
(Topas COC and PMMA).
For this, I am considering buying a Carver hot press (12 ton manual
heated press, model 4386).
I have seen a few publications which cite the Carver press but they
don't give details of the exact model used.
Does anyone know if this is the most appropriate system for microfluidics?
I will use SU-8 on silicon as the embossing tool (possibly Nickel
coated) and would also like to use it for thermal bonding.
Best regards

Gareth
