    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which can be utilized to conduct a variety of nucleic acid amplification reactions, while having sufficient versatility for use in other types of analyses as well. SOLUTION: 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: Introducing a sample solution that includes a target nucleic acid polymer into a microfluidic device that has a sample region with: (i) a flow channel in fluid communication with one fluid inlet and one fluid outlet; and (ii) a plurality of valves that, when closed, partition the flow channel into isolated reaction sites. Each valve is formed from an elastomeric membrane that separates a control channel from the flow channel and which is disposed to be deflected into or retracted out from the flow channel in response to an actuation force to the control channel, thereby forming the valve. The method includes closing the valves, thereby partitioning the flow channel into isolated reaction sites containing portions of said sample solution; exposing the reaction sites to conditions under which the nucleic acid polymer is amplified to produce an amplification product; and opening said valves and displacing sample solution out of the flow channel.
