MULTIPLE FLUID SAMPLE PROCESSOR AND SYSTEM

摘要

Multiple fluid sample processors (10) and systems for high through put chemical synthesis and biological assays and/or processing. A multi-layered fluidic array (10) having microchannels, reservoirs (20) and reaction wells is subject to robotic and automated handling. A pressure pumping system is utilized for fluid delivery and control through the synthesis process. The sizes of the micro-sized channels, apertures, and valves are adjusted to optimize fluid distribution and channel filling. The fluid sample processors (10) can be grouped together in a microtiter format to increase the speed, quantity and efficiency of the processing.
