MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM

摘要

Microfluidic system (1, 2, 10, 11, 16) comprising a first portion (3, 4, 24, 25) and a second portion (5-7), said first portion (3, 4) comprising a material which is able to change its volume when activated by an exciting factor, characterized by the fact that said first portion (3, 4) and said second portion (5-7) define a zone (3-7) which, when said first portion (3,4) is not yet activated by said exciting factor, shows a first topography devoid of any fluidic pathway and which, after activation by said exciting factor, shows a second topography (9, 14) which is adapted to contain at least one fluidic pathway, said microfluidic system furthermore comprising a tight cover surface (20) situated above said first portion (3, 4) and said second portion (5-7).
