Microfluidic devices and related methods and systems

摘要

A microfluidic assembly comprising a replaceable microfluidic circuit and a thermal unit, the microfluidic circuit adapted to contact the thermal unit by contact between one or more membranes in the microfluidic circuit and the at least one temperature controlling element in the thermal unit to achieve temperature control of a substance or substances inside one or more fluidic compartments in the microfluidic circuit. A related method to control temperature and/or physical state of a substance in the fluidic compartments and related testing systems are also described.
