<p>A microfluidic fluid delivery system includes a microfluidic device (16) having a fluid input. A fluid reservoir (14) is fluidically coupled to the fluid input. A gas delivery system has a pulse generator (34, 34') that generates an electric pulse. An electrically operated valve (15, 30) is coupled to the pulse generator (34, 34') and the gas pressure source. The valve (15, 30) controls the gas pressure pulse in response to the electric pulse. The gas pressure pulse displaces fluid from the fluid reservoir (14) into the plurality of capillaries.</p> |
