MANIPULATION OF MICROPARTICLES IN MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEMS

摘要

Arrays of flowable or fixed particle sets are used in microfluidic systems for performing assays and modifying hydrodynamic flow. Also provided are assays utilizing flowable or fixed particle sets within a microfluidic system, as well as kits, apparatus and integrated systems comprising arrays and array members.
The application particularly focusses on methods of performing a plurality of chemical reactions, for instance nucleic acid synthesis and sequencing reactions, in said microfluidic devices.
