ABSTRACT:
A method of attaching a MST device to a support member with an adhesive film, the MST device having an attachment face and a first fluid conduit connected to a first aperture in the attachment face;the support member having a mounting face and a second fluid conduit connected to a second aperture in the mounting face; and,the polymer film has an opening for fluid communication between the first aperture and the second aperture, the method comprising the steps of:forming the opening in the polymer film;aligning the opening with at least part of the second aperture;applying heat and pressure to attach the polymer film to the mounting face; and,positioning the MST device such that the opening is aligned with at east part of the first aperture.By pre-drilling the holes in the film, the attachment process is quicker and the resulting fluidic seal in more reliable.
