Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to tunable elastomeric nanochannels for nanofluidic manipulation. In particular, the present invention relates to nanochannels for performing biological assays.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A microfluidic system, comprising: a) a substrate comprising at least one inlet and at least one outlet formed in said substrate, wherein said inlet and outlet are in fluid communication with one or more closed elastomeric nanochannels that span the distance between said inlet and said outlet and are in fluid communication with both of said inlet and said outlet, wherein said nanochannels are tunneling cracks formed in said substrate by stretching a substrate between…
