    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.
