    Abstract: A system and method for controlling fluid flow within a microchannel includes a fluid circuit comprising a fluid outlet well and one or more fluid inlet wells, all in communication with a microchannel. A negative pressure differential is applied to the outlet well and fluid flow from an inlet well into the microchannel is controlled by opening or closing the inlet well to atmospheric pressure. To stop fluid flow from the inlet well, a negative pressure differential may be applied to the inlet well to equalize pressure between the inlet and outlet wells. By sequentially opening and closing different inlet wells to atmosphere, controlled amounts of different reagents can be serially introduced into the microchannel.

    Abstract translation: 用于控制微通道内的流体流动的系统和方法包括流体回路,流体回路包括流体出口井和一个或多个流体入口井,全部与微通道连通。 对出口井施加负压差,并且通过将入口井打开或关闭到大气压力来控制从入口井到微通道的流体流动。 为了阻止流体从入口井流出,负压差可以施加到入口井以平衡入口和出口孔之间的压力。 通过依次打开和关闭不同的入口孔到大气中,控制量的不同试剂可以连续地引入微通道。
