    Abstract: The invention is directed to a multilayer microfluidic probe (MFP) head (100). The head typically comprises a first (110) and second (120) layers facing each others, and at least one tubing port (182), extending from the first layer (110). The first layer comprises one or more via (112), whereby fluid communication is enabled through the first layer towards the second layer. The second layer comprises at least one microchannel (124), relaying fluid communication to an aperture (122). Such a multilayered MFP head is easier to fabricate than heads made with unitary construction. In particular, a microchannel can advantageously be engraved a groove (124) at the level of the interface between the two layers. The MFP head can further be interfaced with tubing using e.g. a standard fitting for tubing port. The invention has substantial potential for e.g. patterning continuous and discontinuous patterns of biomolecules on surfaces as well as for direct processing of resist materials in a non- contact mode.

    Abstract: The present invention is notably directed to methods of fabrication of a microfluidic chip package or assembly (1), comprising: providing (S1) a substrate (10, 30) having at least one block (14, 14a) comprising one or more microfluidic structures on a face (F) of the substrate; partially cutting (S2) into the substrate to obtain partial cuts (10c), such that a residual 6 thickness of the substrate at the level of the partial cuts (10c) enables singulation of said at least one block (14, 14a); cleaning (S4) said at least one block; and applying (S5 S7) a cover-film (62) to cover said at least one block (14, 14a), whereby at least one covered block is obtained, the applied cover film still enabling singulation of each covered block, wherein each covered block corresponds to a microfluidic chip after singulation. The present invention is further directed to microfluidic chips, packing or assembly, obtainable with such 12 methods.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a microfluidic probe head (100) with a base layer (120) comprising: at least two processing liquid microchannel (123, 124) in fluid communication with a processing liquid aperture (121, 122) on a face of the base 10 layer; and an immersion liquid microchannel (223, 224) in fluid communication with a immersion liquid aperture (221, 222) on a face of the base layer, wherein the microfluidic probe head is configured to allow, in operation, processing liquid provided through the processing liquid aperture to merge into immersion liquid provided through the immersion liquid aperture. An additional layer can be provided 15 to close the microchannels. Such a multilayered head is compact and easier to fabricate than heads made with unitary construction. The head can further be interfaced with tubing using e.g. a standard fitting for tubing port.

    Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen Mikrofluidik-Sondenkopf (100) mit einer Basisschicht (120) aufweisend: wenigstens zwei Arbeitsflüssigkeit-Mikrokanäle (123, 124) in Fluidverbindung mit einer Arbeitsflüssigkeit-Öffnung (121, 122) an einer Seite der Basisschicht; und einen Immersionsflüssigkeit-Mikrokanal (223, 224) in Fluidverbindung mit einer Immersionsflüssigkeit-Öffnung (221, 222) an einer Seite der Basisschicht, wobei der Mikrofluidik-Sondenkopf dafür gestaltet ist, in Verwendung ein Mischen von Arbeitsflüssigkeit, die durch die Arbeitsflüssigkeit-Öffnung bereitgestellt wird, mit Immersionsflüssigkeit, die durch die Immersionsflüssigkeit-Öffnung bereitgestellt wird, zu erlauben. Eine zusätzliche Schicht kann bereitgestellt werden, um die Mikrokanäle abzuschließen. Ein derartiger mehrschichtiger Kopf ist kompakt und leichter herzustellen als mit unitärem Aufbau hergestellte Köpfe. Der Kopf kann ferner mit Schläuchen verbunden werden, beispielsweise unter Verwendung von Standardkupplungen für Schlauchanschlüsse.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a microfluidic device having a flow inlet and outlet, generally defining a flow direction. A bypass channel (11) and an auxiliary channel (21) are provided which respectively defines a first and a second flow path toward the same outlet (102). The auxiliary channel connects to a reagent area (215), i.e., designed to receive a reagent (e.g., chemical or biological, such as detection antibodies). It further joins the bypass channel at the level of a junction (J1) downstream the reagent area, with respect to the second flow path, e.g., like a T- junction. Such a solution provides a simple way of adapting the dissolution rate of the reagent.

    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for the detection of an analyte in a sample. The apparatus comprises at least a first measurement channel (2a) comprising a detection reactant (3) corresponding to the analyte (4) to be detected, and at least a microstructure (5) associated with the first measurement channel (2a). When the apparatus (1 ) is in use, the sample is introduced into the first measurement channel (2a) and propagated by way of the first measurement channel (2a) towards the microstructure (5) such that the analyte (4), if it is present in the sample, interacts with the detection reactant (3) to form a networked product (6), and the microstructure (5) is configured to filter the networked product (6).

Date Mar. 12, 1998A method is proposed with which chemically defined bodies can be deposited on a substrate. Therefor, the bodies are fixed with a predetermined orientation on a stamping means which is then approached to the substrate whereby the bodies are deposited. While releasing the stamping means the bodies remain on the substrate keeping their orientation.
