Abstract
Diagnostic detection chip device designs that reduce cost of fabrication and assembly are described herein. Such chip device designs include features that facilitate use of the chip within a chip carrier device with integrated fluid flow control features and compatibility with conventional sample cartridges and sample processing systems. Associated methods of manufacture and assembly of the chip devices are also provided herein.
Claims18
A diagnostic chip device assembly comprising:
- a chip carrier configured for supporting and coupling a diagnostic chip device;
- wherein the chip carrier comprise a flowcell chamber configured to sealingly engage with an active surface of a diagnostic chip of the diagnostic chip device assembly when secured within the chip carrier;
- and
- wherein the chip carrier further comprises a fluidic interface configured for fluid communication with the flowcell chamber.
