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.
