Title:
STRAIGHTFLOW SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/013703
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A microfabricated device, manifold system and method for electrokinetically moving biological and chemical samples including a multiplexed detection chamber for receiving a plurality of adjacent sample streams to be detected. The device includes a plurality of adjacent input channels connected to the detection chamber via an enlarged section having an expanding taper at its widest end or other shapes so that adjacent sample streams enter the detection chamber and remain discrete for a threshold distance to the detection chamber to minimize lateral diffusion.
