摘要: A microfluidic flow control device includes a fluidic chamber, a first and a second microfluidic channel, at least one sealing surface between the first and the second channels, and a floating element disposed within the chamber. The floating element is capable of intermittently engaging the sealing surface, and movement of the floating element affects fluid flow between the first channel and the second channel. The floating element may be moved by fluid pressure, gravity, or an applied force such as a magnetic field. Multiple flow control regions may be integrated into a flow control system.

摘要: Systems and methods for metering microfluidic volumes are provided. A discrete plug may be separated from a larger volume of first fluid by injecting a second fluid, such as a gas, into a channel containing the first fluid. The injection of the second fluid to isolate the desired amount of the first fluid may be controlled through timing of flows, visual indicators and/or automated control systems using optical or electrical sensors.

摘要: Microfluidic fraction collectors fractionating a sample stream into discrete sample volumes are provided. Fluid flow control mechanisms divert selected portions of a sample stream from an inlet channel into one or more branch channels. The fluid flow control mechanisms may be passive, relying on sample volume and fluidic impedance to establish the sample collection sequence. Alternatively, active fluid flow control mechanisms may be controlled, with or without feedback, to establish the sample collection sequence.

摘要: Microfluidic devices and methods for metering discrete plugs of fluid are provided. The microfluidic devices include a trunk channel and a branch channel having an impedance region. A fluid is supplied to the trunk channel and fills the branch channel to the impedance region. The fluid is then flushed from the trunk channel leaving the branch channel filled. Because the branch channel has a volume, a discrete plug of the fluid having a volume substantially equal to that of the branch channel is formed.

摘要: Microfluidic analytical devices and systems have at least one porous element disposed downstream of one or more optical detection regions in a pressure-based separation system. A porous element elevates the backpressure within an optical detection region, thus suppressing bubble formation and enhancing optical detection. Various types of porous elements include porous membranes, packed particulate material, and polymerized monoliths. Preferred devices may be fabricated with substantially planar device layers, including stencil layers, that are directly bonded without adhesives to form a substantially sealed microstructure suitable for performing pressure-based chromatographic separations at elevated operating pressures and with organic solvents.

摘要: Microfluidic devices capable of efficiently mixing two or more fluid are provided. Two or more microfluidic inlet channels defined in different sheets of material meet at an overlap region in fluid communication with an outlet channel.
