Title:
【発明の名称】マイクロ流体システムにおける流体インピーダンス
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003531018
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention provides microfluidic devices with embedded fluidic impedances. Such impedances do not allow fluid to pass at a low differential pressure, but allow fluid to flow at a higher differential pressure. Impedances are formed by the three dimensional overlap of two or more channels contained within layers of the device. Such devices can be rapidly protyped and can be assembled to contain multiple fluidic impedances to perform complex fluid handling tasks, including metering defined volumes of samples and dividing samples into aliquots.
