MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE FOR MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC APPLICATIONS

摘要

a substrate having a surface with at least one micro channel structure thereon; at least one detecting controlling and/or processing element; at least one reception chamber for receiving the fluid sample, wherein the reception chamber is formable between a membrane and the substrate, wherein the reception chamber is fluently connected with at least one micro channel; at least one membrane, wherein the membrane covers the upper surface of at least one micro channel structure arranged on said substrate leakage proof, whereby movement of said membrane causes a pump action on fluid located in said reception chamber in said micro channel and/or causes a valve action on fluid directed through said micro channel; and at least one device for actuating the movement of the membrane, comprising pressure and/or vacuum generating means.
