摘要: Microfluidic devices are fabricated by fabricating structures that are used to align elements that are to be attached to the devices or tools that are to be used in further fabrication steps on those devices. Elements to be attached include additional substrate layers, external sampling elements, e.g. capillaries, and the like. Preferred alignment structures include wells over which reservoirs are positioned, notches for use with alignment keys to align substrate layers or for receiving additional structural elements, and targets or guide holes for receiving tooling in further fabrication steps.

摘要: Microfluidic devices and systems having enhanced detection sensitivity, particularly for use in non-fluorogenic detection methods, e.g., absorbance. The systems typically employ planar microfluidic devices that include one or more channel networks that are parallel to the major plane of the device, e.g., the predominant plane of the planar structure, and a detection channel segment that is substantially orthogonal to that plane. The detection system is directed along the length of the detection channel segment using a detection orientation that is consistent with conventional microfluidic systems.

摘要: Method of fabricating microstructures on a substrate. The method comprises providing a substrate layer having a first surface with a resist layer. First selected regions of the resist layer are exposed to an environment that renders the resist layer more or less soluble in a developer solution. The resist layer is then developed in the developer solution to expose selected regions of the substrate surface. Second selected regions of the resist layer are then exposed to an environment that renders the resist layer more or less soluble in the developer solution by aligning exposure of the second selected regions to the first selected regions. The first selected regions of the substrate surface are etched. Second selected regions of the resist layer are then developed to expose the second selected regions of the substrate surface.

摘要: A test device for use as a fluorescent standard in microfluidic analytical detection systems includes one or more slits that correspond to, and are of similar dimension to, one or more microchannels in a detection region on a corresponding analysis chip. A fluorescent material is attached to the test device on the side opposite the illumination source such that excitation radiation passes through the slit(s), which defines the focal plane of the illumination optics, and impinges on the fluorescent material thereby causing the fluorescent material to fluoresce. By displacing the fluorescent material relative to the focal plane, the intensity of the radiation exciting the fluorescent material is dispersed relative to the intensity of the radiation at the focal plane, and concomitantly the strength of the resulting fluorescent signal is reduced. An optional spacer is provided to increase the distance of the fluorescent material from the focal plane so as to increase the dispersion of the radiation (decrease the intensity impinging on the fluorescent material). The strength of the resulting fluorescent signal from the fluorescent material can be controlled by selecting a spacer with the appropriate depth.
