INTEGRATED SOLID-PHASE HYDROPHILIC MATRIX CIRCUITS AND MICRO-ARRAYS

摘要

The invention is directed to analytical devices and micro-arrays with integral fluidic inputs and outputs. The devices are constructed from planar solid-phase hydrophilic matrix circuits (711-714) containing dry chemical reagents overlaying integral electro-kinetic pumping electrodes (702-705). The hydrophilic matrix circuits (711-714) are enclosed within a gas permeable electrical insulator (715). The devices are for use in micro-scale bio-analysis, mixture separation and reaction.
