Table 1 Comparison between the features of resin, silicone, and PETG chambers. The resin chambers demonstrated the highest degree of flexibility in producing complex fluidic designs. Silicone chambers were the easiest chamber type to manufacture, sterilize, and use. PETG chambers had the highest inherent compliance and optical clarity compared to resin and silicone chambers
