Operation and analysis methods associated with fluid systems with freeze-thaw valves containing ice nucleating agents

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a fluidic device, such as but not limited to a microfluidic chip, to freeze at a relatively high temperature and / or faster than conventional microfluidic devices with FTV systems. One or more freeze-thaw valves (FTV) are provided that employ one or more ice nucleating agents (INA) that can work reliably. [Selection] Figure 2C
