A method of controlling a system (20) having a microfluidic channel structure (3) in which fluids (A, B) are able to interact to produce at least one product comprises the steps of: i) providing an automated closed-loop control mechanism to autonomously control at least two conditions in, or of, the channel structure (3), the control mechanism having: - a sensor (27; 40) for sensing at least one predetermined property of the at least one product, means (14) for varying said conditions, and a controller (21) programmed with an algorithm; ii) setting a range of variation for each of the conditions; iii) setting a stop condition for the algorithm; and iv) loading the system (20) with fluids (A, B); whereby the sensor (27; 40) produces a sensor signal (29; 41) representative of the predetermined property, the controller (21) receives the sensor signal and, by means of the algorithm, causes the means (14) to vary the conditions within the set ranges until the stop condition for the algorithm is fulfilled.

摘要:
A system operable to monitoring bio/chemical activities includes a first measurement probe, a second measurement probe and a comparator. The first measurement probe is operable to interrogate one or more physical properties of a sample at a first location of the sample, and to output, in response, a first measurement signal. The second measurement probe is operable to interrogate one or more physical properties of the sample at a second location of the sample, and to output, in response, a second measurement signal. The comparator is coupled to receive the first and second measurement signals, the comparator configured to output a difference signal comprising the difference between the first and second measurement signals, the difference signal corresponding to the difference in one or more bio/chemical activities occurring at the first location of the sample relative to the second location of the sample.
摘要:
The invention relates to a microfluidic device (1) comprising at least one micro-channel (2) connected at one end to an enclosed area (6), characterized in that it also comprises an inlet circuit (8) and an outlet circuit (9) connected to the enclosed area and between which the fluid can be discharged without any contact with the micro-channel, wherein at least one of said inlet and outlet circuits can be controlled in such a way that the pressure at the end of the micro-channel can be modified independently from the pressure at the other end of the micro-channel.
