A biochip including a fluidic substrate having an opening extending completely through the fluidic substrate. The biochip further includes a silicon oxide coating on the fluidic substrate. The biochip further includes a plurality of sidewalls on the fluidic substrate, wherein the plurality of sidewalls defines a channel in fluid communication with the opening, the silicon oxide coating is between adjacent sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls, and each of the plurality of sidewalls comprises polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The biochip further includes a detection substrate spaced from the fluidic substrate.
