<p>The microfluidic flow introduction system (30) includes a microfluidic substrate (32) having an array of through-hole ports (34). Samples and other fluids are transferred into through-hole ports (34) as drops on the outer surfaces of a corresponding array of pins (38). Through-holes (34) extend entirely through substrate (32) from an upper surface (40) to a lower surface (42). Drops will wick into through-hole ports (34) and will be restrained within the through-hole ports by capillary forces between the fluid and the surrounding ports. A fluid removal system (44) includes rods (46) which facilitate decanting the fluid from the through-hole ports (34).</p> |
