    Abstract: A fluidic device is described for locally coating an inner surface of a fluidic channel. The fluidic device comprises a first, a second and a third fluidic channel intersecting at a common junction. The first fluidic channel is connectable to a coating fluid reservoir and the third fluidic channel is connectable to a sample fluid reservoir. The fluidic device further comprises a fluid control means configured for creating a fluidic flow path for a coating fluid at the common junction such that, when coating, a coating fluid propagates from the first to the second fluidic channel via the common junction without propagating into the third fluidic channel. A corresponding method for coating and for sensing also has been disclosed.

    Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a micro-fluidic device comprising a substrate, a cavity in the substrate and a plurality of micro-pillar columns located inside the cavity. The micro-pillars columns are configured to create a capillary action when a fluid sample is provided in the cavity. A micro-fluidic channel is present between two 5 walls of any two adjacent micro-pillars in a same micro-pillar column. Each of the two walls comprises a sharp corner along the direction of a propagation path of the fluid sample in the micro-fluidic channel thereby forming a capillary stop valve. A notch provided in a sidewall of the cavity acts as a capillary stop valve.

    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to fast sample loading microfluidic reactors and systems. One embodiment includes a microfluidic device. The microfluidic device includes a reaction chamber allowing reacting of at least one fluid material. The microfluidic device also includes at least two fluidic channels coupled to the reaction chamber for providing a fluid to and exiting a fluid from, respectively, the reaction chamber. Each fluidic channel includes an inlet and an outlet. Each fluidic channel is configured such that when a first fluid is provided in the reaction chamber via that fluidic channel, the first fluid exits the reaction chamber via the outlet of at least one other fluidic channel when the reaction chamber is filled, thereby preventing a second fluid from the at least one other fluidic channel, when present in the inlet, from diffusing into the reaction chamber.
