Multisample bionanochip platform

摘要

A bionanochip cartridge for analysis of multiple samples or analytes is provided herein, and the cartridge is dimensioned to take advantage of existing robotic microtiter plate handling equipment. Fluidics are specially designed to provide a small footprint and to prevent cross contamination.

主权项

1. A bionanochip cartridge comprising:
a) a substrate having an exterior footprint the width and length and shape of a standard microtiter plate; and, b) said substrate having a plurality of sample analysis arrangements therein, each sample analysis arrangement having:
i) a top loading inlet port fluidly connected to a reaction chamber that is laterally spaced from said inlet port;ii) an indirect fluid pathway connecting said inlet port and said reaction chamber;iii) said reaction chamber having a transparent cover overhead allowing visual inspection of said reaction chamber from overhead;iv) said reaction chamber having a porous base; and,v) said reaction chamber fluidly connected under said porous base to an outlet port.
