COMPUTERIZED CONTROL METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MICROFLUIDICS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR USE THEREIN

摘要

Microfluidic devices having active features such as valves, peristaltic pumps, and mixing portions are fabricated to have a thin elastomeric membrane over the active features. The active features are activated by a tactile actuator external to the membrane. A computer executes software for controlling the actuators. The software may include a process manager that executes processes selected by a user from a process library.
