发明名称 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.

主权项 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.
