The current work described the background of various kinds of lithographic techniques, their properties, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. In this work, we have conducted experimental studies on various kinds of polymers. With the help of these polymers, we have designed micron level channel for the free flow of any kind of liquids, named as micron channel for microfluidics. It may be broadly called as microfluidics design. Also, we have worked for the optimization of the fabricated channel using various polymers. This kind of microfluidics design will be used for various aspects in biomedical engineering applications such as targeted drug delivery, ready to use medical handy kits etc. We are now in the way to design microfluidics channel for a fast and rapid sensor for detection of septic etc.
