Title:
MICRO-FLUIDIC SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/107937
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a micro-fluidic system consisting of modules (1) that are arranged side by side in a row, each module containing a micro-fluidic unit (6) and an associated electric control unit (15). According to the invention, the rear faces (3) of the modules (1) lie against a common vertical rear wall unit (2) and are held against said unit. In the modules (1), the respective control unit (15) is located in the vicinity of the rear face (3) and the micro-fluidic unit (6) is situated in a region that is remote from said rear face (3). The control units (15) can be connected to an electric line bus (20) that runs through the rear wall unit (2) via electric connectors (26, 27) that are located on the rear faces (3) of the modules (1) and on the rear wall unit (2) and the micro-fluidic units (6) of two respective neighbouring modules (1) are interconnected to allow the passage of fluid via a connecting part (11) that contains connection channels and that spans the relevant modules (1, 4).
