One of the aims of this work is the fabrication of fluidic chips for their employment as preclinical devices. By direct or indirect laser techniques, materials like soda-lime glass, titanium or tantalum are structured. Dimensions from microns to millimetres are achieved, depending on the final application of the chip. In particular, a device that imitates a coronary bifurcation is fabricated by laser technologies and soft-lithography methods. It is validated by culturing endothelial cells in their inner walls that withstand flow conditions. Other structures, like microchannels, a circulating tumour cells capturing chip or patterns over titanium and tantalum are manufactured.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/laser ablationmicrofluidic deviceslaser matter interactionMaterias::Investigación::22 Física::2209 Óptica::220910 LáseresMicrostructuring of materials with laser technologies for biomedical applicationsdoctoral thesisopen access
