[@edwardyue5884]

very well explained, and finally learned the pronunciation of the polydimetheysiloxane

[@hellnawnaw]

Now all we need to do is to figure out how to do this at home!

[@Mauxbius]

This is well thought out and explained very well

[@mikoajmaecki7979]

great video !

[@Youtubeviewer8year]

I think this video will give me the confidence to experiment
Thank you very much!

[@AlexiLaiho227]

i love this channel so much, you're awesome!

[@Ghost-rg2ns]

That was really helpful. Thank you!

[@mohsina9958]

great summary of the process, you're helping me a lot for my exam!

[@michellew4634]

great video! thanks for making this!

[@mgmarinmgmarin3289]

Awesome!

[@rubenrodrigolopez]

Great video!

[@ninjaskitches]

Shrinky dinks work well for the home gamer

[@JavierChiappa]

5:05 "The Glue is nothing less than..... PLASMA!" I wasn't expecting that, i thought it was cyanoacrylate.
Very interesting process, didn't knew it existed!

[@muhsinali8386]

awesome explanation

[@hernandojosedeavilapereira511]

great job, !keep going¡, i'm subscribing to your channel

[@AjinkyaMahajan]

Orange light, really. The clean rooms appear to be yellow because of UV blocking filters in the lithography area.

[@zoeyngo6347]

great explanation

[@AbdurRahman-nq5nb]

Great video....

[@norbertomarquez-arroyo477]

What software is used to make the animations for describing the fabrication?

[@sankargollu0911]

Nice video. Thank you for sharing. How it is different from microfluidics flexdym?

[@OktoPutsch]

C'est super, on en redemande (j'redécouvre votre chaîne que j'avais oublié depuis la sortie du premier épisode) mais baissez la musique sur vos éventuelles prochaines vidéos je vous prie, elle ne doit jamais excéder le volume de l'intervenant. Personne n'aime sauter sur le bouton du volume pour avoir ensuite à le remonter dès qu'ça cause ;)

[@asapfilms2519]

Hi I am 40 and I am falling in love with this field of science. Is it possible for me to work in this field?

[@spruce1000]

how thick should the channels be?

[@AlexiLaiho227]

check out The Thought Emporium's video on microfluidics, i think he covers this

[@johnbrooks527]

More plz

[@Zaniahiononzenbei]

This is so interesting! It's not as accessible as I hoped. Are you aware of any way for the DIY community to get access to an Oxygen plasma? Do you know what kind of parameters around the plasma system, or more details about the chip you made? Things like thickness, prices, and more building blocks would be really amazing.

[@nguyenlephuong9489]

could you teach us how to design a microfluidic chip using softwares such as autocad?

[@Vetrivel.Shanmugam]

Can you make a video to make a neural network using microfluid please?

[@rohitvangari7721]

approx.. how much it will cost to fabricate this type of chips.

[@Morgwic]

Zero dislikes, hmmm... tempting! ..to like :)

[@youtubelist7912]

Need those shrinky dinks

[@preslavjankov1532]

3 15

[@abelferquiza1627]

would be great a little slower explanations for people so interested in subject without speak english so well

[@MohamedIbrahim-jn4wg]

Awesome!
