An innovative fabrication method is presented that affords the combination of polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) microfluidic technology with vibrational spectroscopy. PDMS devices are produced with uniform thicknesses ranging from 25 to 400 μm. The optical characteristics of the microfluidic devices in the mid-infrared are reported. The broad utility of this approach is demonstrated through IR imaging of flows in functional gradient generators and flow-focusing devices.
