Zusammenfassung:	Methods are provided for the fabrication of polymeric microchannel structures having enclosed microchannels of capillary dimension. The microchannel structures are constructed of a base member (12) and a cover member (14), sealed together. A microchannel structure having walls of a plastic material is formed in a generally planar surface of at least the base member. The cover member has at least one generally planar surface, and the microchannel structure is enclosed by bonding the planar surfaces of the cover member and the base member together. In some embodiments the surfaces of the cover member and base member are both of plastic material, and are directly thermally bonded. In some embodiments a bonding material is applied to one of the surfaces prior to bringing the surfaces together. Suitable bonding material are disclosed.
