I fully agree with this concept. The new SU-8 layer should cross link right into the existing structure of the microfluidic structure wafer. Also, the new SU-8 coating should make an extremely compliant layer to deal with surface roughness, bow, warp, height differences, etc. and it would seem that our colleague in Alberta already has all of the necessary hardware for casting the SU-8 (though I would recommend something thinner than 2050).
