CENTRIFUGAL ARRAY PROCESSING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003054513
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A device is provided in which a carousel is provided for use in such biochemical and chemical processes as polymerase chain reactions, using the centrifugal force resulting from rotation of the carousel to motivate fluid movement through microchannels embedded in microslides. The slides are arranged and positioned to function as fan blades vanes during rotation, to cause thermal regulation airflow through the device. Various other features are enabled by the present invention that improve efficiency and simplify processes such as those described.
