Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device and method of laminar flow patterning of at least one sample fluid in a main channel in a microfluidic device are provided. A first input channel is provided in the microfluidic device. The first input channel has an output end communicating with the first end of the main channel and an input end communicating with a first input port. A buffer fluid is deposited in the main channel and the first input channel and a first sample fluid is deposited in the first input port. A first pressure is generated in response to the depositing of the first sample fluid in the first input port so as to cause laminar flow of the first sample fluid in the main channel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A device for controlled laminar flow patterning of at least one sample fluid, comprising: a body defining a channel network, the channel network including: a main channel extending along a longitudinal axis and having a first end and a second end defining an output port; a first input port, the first input port adapted for receiving a first sample fluid of the of at least one sample fluid and for introducing the first sample fluid into the channel network; a firs…
