A MICROFLUIDIC CHANNEL AND METHODS OF REMOVING BUBBLES FROM FLUID IN THE MICROFLUIDIC CHANNEL

摘要

The invention discloses an apparatus and methods of puncturing bubbles from fluid in a microfluidic channel (104). The primary sharp protuberance (103) punctures the larger bubbles. The air vent (102) traps and removes the bubbles created after the larger bubbles have been broken by primary sharp protuberance (103). The secondary sharp protuberance (106) punctures the escaped bubbles which were not broken by the primary sharp protuberance (103) or not removed by air vent (102). Various sharp protuberances array can be integrated inside the microfluidic channel (104) to puncture the bubbles in the fluid flow path.
