    摘要: A fluid delivery system for an in ovo injection apparatus is provided. Such a fluid delivery system includes a plurality of fluid pumps each having a select valve, a diaphragm valve, and an outlet valve. The select valves are individually controllable such that each select valve is selectively operated via a pneumatic actuator. The diaphragm valves and the outlet valves are commonly operated via respective pneumatic actuators. An input valve is provided for each fluid pump in instances that require high pressure delivery of a fluid substance via the fluid pumps. In such instances, the input valves and the diaphragm valves are commonly controlled via high pressure solenoid valves, while the select valves are selectively controlled and the outlet valves are commonly controlled via low pressure solenoid valves. An associated apparatus and method are also provided.

    摘要: A metering assembly (10) includes a fluidic chip (300) and metering chambers (510). Selectable outlet valves (610, 620, 630) communicate with each metering chamber to provide a discrete dispensed volume. The valves may be commonly controlled and may be formed as multi-level valves. The valves may be grouped into common substrate valve clusters (600). Purge channels (540) communicate with the metering chambers and controlled purge valves (660) allow reverse flow wash fluid to wash the metering chamber. Pressure ports (330) are employed to actuate the valves. A method of dispensing a fluid from the fluidic chip includes a) selectively filling (or filling) the metering chambers with a selected fluid; and b) outputting (or selectively outputting) the fluid to output locations. The total output volume of fluid dispensed from each metering chamber may be accumulated. The process may be repeated until the accumulated volume equals the desired volume and may be repeated for another fluid from a plurality of different fluids. A microfluidic control apparatus (700, 900) can be used to control fluid flow. The apparatus includes a flexible membrane (704, 904) and a base (702, 902). A substrate having fluid ports (354a, 354b, 954) cooperates with the membrane. The apparatus can have a lip (702, 902) surrounding the membrane. The membrane can be disposed between relatively rigid layers (310, 350).

    摘要: Microfluidic devices of the present disclosure relate to quick and inexpensive microfluidic manipulation/handling. A number of channels may be supplied with fluid ingredient(s). In some embodiments, a number of protrusions as well as a sealing material may be disposed adjacent to the channels. When the channels are supplied with fluid ingredient(s), the channels may be partitioned into a number of separate cavities that are fluidly isolated from one another. For instance, a sealing material may be compressed so as to deform into the channels, obstructing fluid flow. In some embodiments, the channels supply fluid ingredients to a number of pre-formed cavities. Once the cavities are supplied with fluid ingredient, channels connecting the cavities may be sealed off; that is, the cavities may be subject to fluid isolation. When appropriate, contents within reaction chambers may be subject to further processing (e.g., thermal cycling, various analyses).

    摘要: A fluid delivery system implemented within an in ovo injection apparatus is disclosed, wherein the fluid delivery system includes a plurality of membrane valves. In particular, the fluid delivery system includes a diaphragm valve that is used to meter out a precise volume of a treatment substance liquid. Further, the diaphragm valve includes certain standoff features on the surface thereof for reducing or entirely preventing the adhesion of the diaphragm to adjacent surfaces when left idle for an extended period of time, as well as an arrangement of fluid channels in the surface thereof for reducing or entirely preventing the trapping of liquid between the diaphragm and adjacent surfaces. The fluid delivery system includes features contributing to optimized flow characteristics.
