DEVICES AND METHODS FOR POSITIONING DRIED REAGENT IN MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2007143540

Kind Code:

A9

Abstract:

A microfluidic device may include a sample distribution network including a plurality of sample chambers configured to be loaded with biological sample for biological testing of the biological sample while in the sample chambers. The sample distribution network may further include a plurality of inlet channels, each inlet channel being in flow communication with and configured to flow biological sample to a respective sample chamber, and a plurality of outlet channels, each outlet channel being in flow communication and configured to flow biological sample from a respective sample chamber. At least some of the sample chambers may include a physical modification configured to control the movement of the meniscus so as to control bubble formation or dried reagent positioned within the at least some sample chambers proximate the inlet channels in flow communication with the at least some sample chambers.
