A microfluidic assembly includes a planar microfluidic separation device and a support body configured to receive the planar microfluidic separation device therein. The support body is configured to apply a substantially distributed compressive preload to a substrate of the planar microfluidic separation device. The compressive preload applied to the planar microfluidic separation device may increase the achievable operating pressure of the planar microfluidic separation device. |
