摘要： A fluid handling and delivery system useful in generating a fluid stream (7) in the flow path (8) of microfluidic device (16). The system comprises a variable volume container (1) having a flexible wall (2) which acts on an amount of fluid (3) within the variable volume container (1) in response to an amount of pressure (4) exerted on the exterior surface (5) of the flexible wall (2) by an amount of gas (6). The amount of pressure (4) exerted on the exterior surface (5) of flexible wall (2) continuously adjusts the volume of the variable volume container (1) to act on the amount of fluid (3) to generate a fluid stream (7) in the flow path (8).
