PRESSURE MEASUREMENT OF A RESERVOIR FLUID IN A MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE

摘要

Methods and related systems are described for measuring fluid pressure in a microchannel. A number of flexible membranes are positioned at locations along the microchannel such that pressure of the fluid in the microchannel causes a deformation of the membranes. An optical sensing system adapted and positioned to detect deformation of the membranes that thereby determine the pressure of the fluid flowing in the microchannel at a number of locations along the microchannel.
