Fluorescence detector, filter device and related methods

摘要

A microfluidic filter is disclosed. The filter can be used with onchip fluid filtration such as whole blood filtration for microfluidic blood analysis. The filter is able to filter the necessary volume of fluid and in particular blood in an acceptable time frame.

主权项

1. A microfluidic filtering device for filtering fluid comprising:
a sealed, single-piece cast polymer structure made of transparent polymer material, the cast polymer structure having
a vertical microfluidic inputting channel at one end of the cast polymer structure, into which fluid is adapted to be input,a vertical microfluidic outputting channel at another end of the cast polymer structure, from which filtered fluid is adapted to be output, anda filter element embedded within an internal empty space of the cast polymer structure, the filter element being located underneath the microfluidic inputting channel and above the microfluidic outputting channel,wherein the microfluidic inputting channel is axially aligned with the microfluidic outputting channel and the microfluidic outputting channel is adapted to be connected with a microfluidic circuit.
