We present a method for the continuous manufacture of micro scale polymer strings and tubes. The method utilizes hydrodynamic focusing and liquid phase photopolymerization. A number of different strings and tubes are demonstrated including the ability to control local properties. Strings and tubes are used in many applications. By including active biomolecules within the micro strings, biosensing strings are demonstrated.
