Abstract: The present invention relates generally to devices able to manipulate, process, treat, sort, measure and/or analyse samples at a micro level, commonly referred to as microfluidic devices. In particular, the present invention relates to a microfluidic device that can be used for the analysis of particulate samples, such as by the leaching at a micro level of a crushed rock particulate sample from a mineral ore body and the subsequent analysis of the leachate. The present invention also relates to a method for the use of a microfluidic device for the analysis of a particulate sample.
