INTERFACE MEMBERS AND HOLDERS FOR MICROFLUIDIC ARRAY DEVICES

摘要

A member for holding at least one microfluidic device and providing an interface between the at least one microfluidic device and a second device is provided. The at least one microfluidic device has a plurality of reservoirs formed therein and the member includes a body having an upper face and a lower face and a plurality of open well members formed therein. Each well member is defined by a well wall and includes a first end and an opposing second end, wherein the second end is configured and dimensioned for frictionally engaging the at least one microfluidic device such that at least some of the open well members and the reservoirs of the microfluidic device align with one another. An apparatus for interfacing with a mass spectrometer to perform a nanospray application is also provided.
