An inexpensive microfluidic chip–silicon rubber–based system was fabricated. A triangle–shaped micro canal with a 135 µm width and 234 µm depth was grooved by laser ablation technique. The groove was sealed by a thin glass cover while two pieces of stainless steel tubings were connected to each side of canal. Then, a polyaniline film with a thickness of 17±1 µm was synthesized on the walls of the canal by chemical oxidation using a syringe pump to deliver the relevant reagents. The microfluidic system was eventually connected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. To evaluate the capability of the constructed fluidic system, it was implemented to the analysis of sub–mL volumes of...
