Abstract
Devices that includes a first portion, the first portion including at least one fluid channel; a fluid actuator; an analysis sensor disposed within the fluid channel; a conductivity sensor disposed within the fluid channel; and an introducer; a second portion, the second portion comprising: at least one well, the well containing at least one material, wherein one of the first or second portion is moveable with respect to the other, wherein the introducer is configured to obtain at least a portion of the material from the at least one well and deliver it to the fluid channel, and wherein the fluid actuator is configured to move at least a portion of the material in the fluid channel.
Claims5
A method of regulating a fluid at a fluidic device, the method comprising:
- providing a first portion of the fluidic device comprising a fluidic channel;
- providing a second portion of the fluidic device, operatively coupled to and physically separate from the first portion, and comprising one or more wells;
- configuring the first and second portions to move relative to one another between a first position where the fluidic channel is fluidly coupled to at least one well of the one or more wells, and a second position away from the first position;
- moving a fluid from the at least one well to the fluidic channel;
- moving the fluid in the fluidic channel of the fluidic device in a first direction at a first flow rate;
- and
- changing the flow of the fluid when a change in resistance is measured at a sensor of the fluidic device.
