DEVICE FOR CREATING A MICROFLUIDIC CHANNEL STRUCTURE IN A CHAMBER

摘要

A device for creating a microfluidic channel structure includes two plates forming a chamber between the two plates. The chamber has at least one inlet for feeding a fluid into the chamber and at least one outlet for discharging the fluid out of the chamber. A cooling element is associated with at least one of the two plates for converting fluid disposed in the chamber into a solid. A plurality of heating elements is associated with at least a first of the two plates and distributed so as to provide, by a heating up of some of the heating elements so as to convert areas of the solid that are in a vicinity of the heating elements to the fluid, a channel structure leading from the at least one inlet through the chamber to the at least one outlet. The channel structure is configured to convey fluid flow.
