The present invention relates to improved microfluidic devices, apparatuses that include, and components of, said microfluidic devices. Further, the present invention also relates to methods involving the foregoing. The improved microfluidic devices may, in particular, include a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor as the sample region to which a sample liquid is exposed. The microfluidic devices of this invention provide a simple and flexible solution to one or more problems of prior art microfluidic devices, for example enabling one or more subsets of a plurality of sample regions to be exposed, such as in a selective and/or predetermined manner, to one or more sample liquids. Such functionality has particular advantages for the operation, flexibility, throughput, reliability and otherwise for the performance of the devices when in use |
