MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM INCLUDING A VIRTUAL WALL FLUID INTERFACE PORT FOR INTERFACING FLUIDS WITH THE MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM

摘要

A fluid interface port in a microfluidic system and a method of forming the fluid interface port is provided. The fluid interface port comprises an opening formed in the side wall of a microchannel sized and dimensioned to form a virtual wall when the microchannel is filled with a first liquid. The fluid interface port is utilized to fill the microchannel with a first liquid, to introduce a second liquid into the first liquid and to eject fluid from the microchannel.
