    Abstract: An apparatus providing a fluidic cartridge including a first and second substrate and an intermediate interlayer is disclosed. The intermediate interlayer is sealedly interfaced between the first and second substrates to form therein a plurality of channels of capillary dimensions. The apparatus further includes an open reservoir, a pump chamber and a reaction chamber. The open reservoir and reaction chamber are each connected to the pump chamber through the channels. The open reservoir and reaction chamber are in fluid communication with each other via the channels. The apparatus further provides a fluid flow controlling structure, formed in the fluidic cartridge, which restricts a flow of a fluid through the reaction chamber to one direction. The apparatus further provides a linear actuator for providing a pumping action in the pump chamber to pump the fluid to recirculate from the reaction chamber to the open reservior via the channels and pump chamber.

    Abstract: A simple micro valve actuator is disclosed. The micro valve actuator of this invention comprises a sealed vacuum chamber. The micro valve is actuated by providing a current to a thin film heater, which in turn weakens and, under the atmospheric pressure differential, breaks a diaphragm sealing said vacuum chamber whereby the vacuum inside the chamber is released. By applying the micro valve actuator of this invention to a microfluidic channel with a micro valve, the resulting pressure differential deforms the section of the microchannel at the micro valve area and adjacent to the vacuum chamber so to change the flow inside the microchannel. In the preferred embodiments of this invention, the chamber may be prepared in a silicon, glass, or plastic substrate and a diaphragm is vacuum bonded to seal the chamber. The diaphragm may comprise a metallic gas-impermeable film. A releasing member comprising a thin-film metallic heater is then microfabricated on the diaphragm. The assembly so prepared may be bonded to a glass or plastic substrate that contains a microchannel in which a micro valve is prepared. The invented micro valve actuator is suited for a microfluidic platform in changing the flow in a microchannel.

    Abstract: A simple microfluidic actuator includes a sealed vacuum chamber actuated by providing a current to a thin film heater, which in turn weakens and, under the atmospheric pressure differential, breaks a diaphragm sealing said vacuum chamber whereby the vacuum inside said chamber is released. By applying the microfluidic actuator to a microfluidic network the resulting pressure differential can be used to generate a pumping force with the microfluidic network. The chamber may be prepared in a silicon, glass, or plastic substrate. The diaphragm may be a metallic gas-impermeable film. A releasing member comprising a thin-film metallic heater is then microfabricated on the diaphragm. The assembly so prepared may be bonded to a glass or plastic substrate that contains a network of microchannels. The microfluidic actuator is suited for a microfluidic platform in generating driving powers for operations including pumping, metering, mixing and valving of liquid samples.
