Abstract
The development of miniaturized analytical systems has gained considerable momentum in the last few years. Planar micro-optics and solid state light sources have a great potential for reducing the size and simplifying the architecture of analytical systems1. Our investigation is focused on microlens arrays for μTAS. Arrays of refractive microlenses (2 μm to 5 mm lens diameter) have been fabricated by melting resist technology and replicated in polycarbonate and PMMA by embossing and casting techniques. Microlens arrays have been integrated into miniaturized analytical systems.
