DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GRAVITY-ENHANCED MICROFLUIDIC COLLECTION, HANDLING AND TRANSFERRING OF FLUIDS |
摘要 |
The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to the collection of bodily fluids through the use of gravity and microfluidic properties by way of a collector. The collector can make use of microfluidic networks connected to collection sites on the skin of a subject to gather and shuttle blood into a reservoir by a combination of capillary action and gravitational forces. The collected fluid is moved through the microfluidic networks and into the reservoir by a variety of approaches. |

1. A microfluidic collection system for drawing blood from a subject comprising:
a. a collector further comprising:
i. a housing;ii. at least one collection site;iii. a microfluidic network disposed within the housing and further comprising at least one microfluidic channel disposed within the housing; andiv. at least one outflow channel in fluidic communication with the microfluidic network; and b. at least one reservoir in fluidic communication with the at least one collection site by way of the outflow channel;
wherein:i. the system is configured to be placed on skin of the subject; andii. the at least one microfluidic network is configured to promote the flow of fluids from the collection site to the at least one outflow channel. |
