Abstract: The present invention includes microfluidic systems having a microfabricated cavity that may be covered with a removable cover, where the removable cover allows at least part of the opening of the microfabricated cavity to be exposed or directly accessed by an operator. The microfluidic systems comprise chambers, flow and control channels formed in elastomeric layers that may comprise PDMS. The removable cover comprises a thermoplastic base film bonded to an elastomer layer by an adhesive layer. When the removable cover is peeled off, the chamber is at least partially open to allow sample extraction from the chamber. The chamber may have macromolecular crystals formed inside or resulting contents from a PCR reaction. The invention also includes a method for making vias in elastomeric layers by using the removable cover. The invention further includes methods and devices for peeling the peelable cover or a removable component such as Integrated Heater Spreader.

Abstract translation: 本发明包括具有微型空腔的​​微流体系统，其可以被可移除的盖覆盖，其中可移除的盖允许微加工腔的至少一部分开口被操作者暴露或直接访问。 微流体系统包括在可包括PDMS的弹性体层中形成的腔室，流动和控制通道。 可移除的盖包括通过粘合剂层结合到弹性体层的热塑性基底膜。 当可移除的盖被剥离时，室至少部分地打开以允许从室中取样。 该室可能在PCR反应内部形成大分子晶体或产生内含物。 本发明还包括通过使用可移除盖制造弹性体层中的通孔的方法。 本发明还包括用于剥离可剥离盖或诸如集成式加热器撒布机的可移除部件的方法和装置。
