Abstract
A microfluidic device for performing separation functions such as dialysis. The device contains multiple redundant microfluidic structures operating in parallel to prevent failure of the device when performing critical separation operations where device failure would be harmful, while also expediting the process.
Claims8
A microfluidic device, comprising:
- an inlet;
- an outlet;
- a fluid flowing through said inlet;
- and
- multiple microfluidic structures connecting said inlet and said outlet such that a portion of said fluid flows through said first microfluidic structure, and another portion of said fluid flows through said second microfluidic structure.
2 more elements
A microfluidic device, comprising:
- an inlet;
- an outlet;
- a fluid flowing through said inlet;
- and
- a plurality of microfluidic structures connecting said inlet and said outlet such that portions of said fluid is split up such that it flow through most or all of said microfluidic structures.
