Microfluidic system and method for operating such a system

摘要

A microfluidic system comprises a cartridge that includes a first drum which has a first chamber and an adjustment device which is arranged so as to rotate the first drum about its mid-axis and is configured to connect the first chamber conductively to a second chamber. The microfluidic system further comprises a pressure device which acts upon at least one component with a pressure difference and is configured to transfer the component between the first chamber and second chamber.

1. A microfluidic system, comprising:
a cartridge defining a longitudinal axis and including:
a first drum which has a first chamber, the first drum defining a first mid-axis, the first drum being arranged with the first mid-axis arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis,a second drum which has a second chamber, the second drum defining a second mid-axis, the second drum being arranged with the second mid-axis arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis and preceding or following the first drum with respect to the longitudinal axis, andan adjustment device which is configured to rotate the first drum about the longitudinal axis and, the first drum and the second drum being configured such that the first chamber and the second chamber are connected in one or more of a fluid-conducting manner, a gas-conducting manner, and a particle-conducting manner in response to the first drum being rotated about the longitudinal axis by the adjustment device, and a pressure device coupled to the first chamber and configured to act upon at least one component in the first chamber with a pressure difference and is configured to transfer the component between the first chamber and second chamber.
