Flow Control System for a Microfluidic Device, Microreactor System, DNA Synthesis Device, and Method for Controlling a Sequence of Reactions

摘要

A flow control system for a microfluidic device includes: a plurality of fluid flow controllers, each fluid flow controller associated with a respective microfluidic device inlet of the microfluidic device, and wherein each fluid flow controller includes: a controller inlet for receiving a fluid flow, a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel, each of the first and the second fluid channels having a first end connected to the controller inlet and a second end connected to a supply channel, and a valve for selecting the fluid flow to be passed from the controller inlet to the first fluid channel or to the second fluid channel, wherein the first fluid channel has a first flow resistance that smaller than a second flow resistance of the second fluid channel.
