a The 96-wells flow component is composed of a flow channels part made of PMMA a 96-islands PDMS substrate and a PMMA base. The flow channels part is composed 8 flow channels, with respective inlets and outlets, which start and end with a smaller width adjusted to the inlet/outlet inner diameter. The flow channels part was generated by binding together, by thermal diffusion, a top inlet/outlet part (a PMMA plate containing inlet and outlets) with a channels part (a PMMA structure that contains a linear flow channel of 500 µm height and 96 cavities fitting the PDMS islands). b Dimensions are presented for all the parts and components together with a close-up to show the relevant features and measures of the different designs. c The 3 components are connected to create the 96-wells flow component, ready to be used for high-flow experiments. d 2D transversal view of a representative flow channel of the assembled 96-wells flow component. e Representative image and relevant dimensions of the flow channels part
