Abstract: A microfluidic device, with elastomeric components, and having a flow channel, wherein said flow channel has a plurality of blind flow channels opening into and in fluid communication with the flow channel, each blind flow channel having an aperture portion, a channel portion and a terminus portion, and wherein a region at the terminus of each blind flow channel defines a reaction site. Each blind flow channel is associated with a valve that when closed isolates the reaction site from the flow channel. The valves associated with each of the plurality of blind flow channels in fluid communication with the flow channel are under the control of a common control channel and are coordinately closed or opened.

Abstract: A variety of elastomeric-based microfluidic devices and methods for using and manufacturing such devices are provided. Certain of the devices have arrays of reaction sites to facilitate high throughput analyses. Some devices also include reaction sites located at the end of blind channels at which reagents have been previously deposited during manufacture. The reagents become suspended once sample is introduced into the reaction site. The devices can be utilized with a variety of heating devices and thus can be used in a variety of analyses requiring temperature control, including thermocycling applications such as nucleic acid amplification reactions, genotyping and gene expression analyses.

Abstract: The present invention provides for microfluidic devices and methods for their use. The invention further provides for apparatus and systems for using the microfluidic devices, analyze reactions carried out in the microfluidic devices, and systems to generate, store, organize, and analyze data generated from using the microfluidic devices. The invention further provides methods of using and making microfluidic systems and devices which, in some embodiments, are useful for crystal formation. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a platen having a platen face with one or more fluid ports therein. The fluid ports spatially correspond to one or more wells on a surface of the microfluidic device. A platform for holding the microfluidic device relative to the platen is included, and a platen actuator for urging the platen against the microfluidic device so that at least one of the fluid ports of the platen is urged against one of the wells to form a pressure chamber comprising the well and the port, so that when pressurized fluid is introduced or removed into or from the pressure chamber through one o f the ports, fluid pressure is changed therein.FIG. 14B

Abstract: Provided herein are biologic sample preparation and analysis systems that are rapid, portable, robust detection system for multiplexed detection of bio-threats, and which can be ruggedized to operate in harsh environments. A new method of detection called Combinatorial Probe Analysis (CPA), which provides an exponential increase in detection reliability, has been incorporated into these systems. This type of analysis greatly reduces false positives and false negatives; in addition it is reusable and eliminates special storage requirements for reagents. Specific technical advancements in the optimization of hybridization assays for nucleic acid detection on porous polymer monoliths (PPM) are also disclosed. Performing rapid and complete solubilization of viruses, vegetative bacteria and bacterial spores with an ultra high temperature solubilization protocol is also described. The systems provided herein provides the ability to perform rapid highly multiplexed analysis of a variety of bioagents, including bacteria viruses, and protein biotoxins. The systems and assays described herein are perform completely automated sample preparation and analysis, in a time frame of five minutes or less. The assay is simple in design allowing users in personal protective equipment to easily operate the system. The disclosed systems are robust, simple to use, and address the goals of the first responder community.
