Title:
METHODS FOR LIQUID METERING IN MICROCHANNELS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002007884
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The movement and mixing of microdroplets through microchannels is described employing microscale devices, comprising microdroplet transport channels, reaction regions, electrophoresis modules, and radiation detectors. Microdroplets are metered into defined volumes and are subsequently incorporated into a variety of biological assays. Electronic components are fabricated on the same substrate material, allowing sensors and controlling circuitry to be incorporated in the same device.
