Integrating resistive metal tracks onto a COC substrate have also been done in the past. Some papers describe the use of a surface modification step done before metal deposition in order to enhance adhesion between the COC and the metal layer, like a pretreatment with plasma [46] or an organic solvent [47]. Other papers describe the direct deposition of metal onto the COC surface [28,48]. Chung et al. specifically, fabricated an amplification chip in COC with integrated Au heaters [28]. However, their system required heating from both sides as the used grade of COC has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 130 °C. This COC could not withstand the required heater temperatures to have enough heat flux into the system. They had to heat up the heater to temperatures above 130 °C, which caused cracking of the heater tracks due to deformation of the COC. With their double-sided heating they ensured that the reaction mixture had the desired PCR temperatures. However, double-sided heating doubles the amount of metal required, increases the amount of fabrication steps, and therefore increases the price per chip.
