SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOVEMENT AND TIMING CONTROL

摘要

The present invention relates to fluidic systems for controlling one or more fluids and/or one or more reagents. These systems can be used in combination with one or more devices for assaying, processing, and/or storing samples. In particular, the systems and related methods can allow for dispensing fluid in a controlled manner and/or introducing pause(s) when implementing assays or processes.

主权项

1. A reagent dispensing device comprising:
(a) a first substrate having a first surface, wherein the first substrate comprises one or more first chambers situated within the first substrate; (b) a first resistant unit disposed adjacent to the surface of the first substrate and fluidically connected to at least one of the one or more first chambers, wherein the first resistant unit comprises a first reagent; and (c) a first pushing unit configured to move along a circular path within a plane parallel or about parallel to the first surface of the first substrate, wherein a first relative movement of the first pushing unit along the circular path within the plane parallel or about parallel to the first surface of the first substrate causes the first reagent to enter at least one of the one or more first chambers.
