[mems-talk] Microfluidics ports

[Gareth Jenkins]

How are you interfacing your capillaries at the moment?
As a student I used to bond capillaries into glass chips using 
graphite/vesple ferrules and epoxy glue which made a reasonably leak 
resistant interface. It does take some practice to get a good connection 
though.
