MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS

摘要

Microfluidic assemblies (98), systems, and methods are provided for manipulating fluid samples. Assemblies include an elastically deformable cover layer (104) and a less elastically deformable substrate (100). The methods include deforming the substrate through the cover layer so that when the cover layer rebounds a new communication results in the assembly between the cover layer and the substrate and/or so that a new barrier wall is formed. Systems for carrying out the methods are also provided.
