摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention provide a rotatable microfluidic platform (100), comprising a disc formed by first and second discs having, respectively, first and second planar surfaces in abutting contact, a microfluidic system (120) formed between the first and second discs (310, 320), comprising a separation chamber (230, 235) formed in at least the first surface, at least one measurement reservoir formed in at least the second surface, a valve inlet channel arranged between an intermediate portion of the separation reservoir and a heat-rupturable valve (250), the valve inlet channel being formed by a channel in the first surface and the planar second surface, and a valve outlet channel arranged between the valve and the at least one measurement chamber (251, 252), the valve outlet channel being formed by a channel in the second surface and the planar first surface, wherein the valve is arranged between the first and second surfaces at a junction between the valve inlet channel and the valve outlet channel. |
